You called to ask for her hand in marriage

You said you thought it was right.

You wanted the blessings of her big brother

And you certainly got it that night.

I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting you,

Nor did I know your name.

But I could tell from the sincerity in your voice

That you were not playing a game.

I’ve never seen my sister so happy,

So full of love and pride.

You have my consent and my blessings,

To make my sister your bride!
