Here are the lyrics to “Today I Met the Boy I’m Gonna Marry” by Darlene Love:
“Today I met the boy I’m gonna marry
He’s all I’ve wanted all my life and even more
He smiled at me and then the music started playing
Here comes the bride when he walked through the door
Today I met the boy I’m gonna marry
The boy whose life and dream and love I wanna share
For on my hand a band of gold appeared before me
The band of gold I always dreamed I’d wear
When we kissed I felt a sweet sensation
This time it wasn’t just my imagination
Today I met the boy I’m gonna marry
He’s just what I’ve been waiting for, oh yeah
With every kiss, oh this is it, my heart keeps saying
Today I met the boy I’m going to marry
When we kissed I felt a sweet sensation
This time it wasn’t just my imagination
Today I met the boy I’m gonna marry
He’s just what I’ve been waiting for, whoah yeah
With every kiss, oh this is it, my heart keeps saying
Today I met the boy I’m going to marry
Yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah
Today I met the boy
Today I met, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Today I met”
Now that’s a solid gold love song!
