Here I Stand - Wedding Song

[sgs4u]

I was reading the other thread about how long people take to finish tunes. I'm not like Bill at all, often wish I was. Sometimes it takes me 10 years to get around to finishing a song. I wrote this song, sang it at our wedding while my wife walked up the aisle. It was kinda pompous. And it has been difficult to analyze it objectively, to put it mildly. I am finally ready to get some opinions on this. I need to know how clean the lyrics are, and how decent the melody is. This is one of the very few songs that I've ever composed that wasn't a co-write. But please rip it up or tell me truthfully what you think. I ain't scared.

Here I Stand © Steve SoucyTime is standing still, like slow motion destinySuch a precious moment's hanging in the airYou're taking my name, in front of all our friends and familyToday is the answer to all my prayersJust what did I do, to deserve a girl like youAnd how did you know, I could never let you goWhat you want me to be, is the best I can beFor the rest of my life, please be my wifeCause here I stand, more than I amHere I stand, your manIt's the sound of your voice, and the beauty of your smileThe touch of your skin, so much softer than mineIt's the joy in your tears, and the love that's in your eyesOh God, how am I gonna stop myself from cryingJust what did I do, to deserve a girl like youAnd how did you know, I could never let you goWhat you want me to be, is the best I can beFor the rest of my life, please be my wifeCause here I stand, more than I amHere I stand, a much better manHere I stand, your man
