RACHAEL:
(walking down the aisle, singing)
Children
It was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run through the days
Don't look behind
Over wink of an eye and it's over
What a surprise to discover
We were people ourselves
What kind of people did we want to be
No answer ever came to me
I didn't sleep at all last night
Mom, I've come to you like yesterday
About today
Mom, I'm afraid
Hon, come and sit by my side
Listen to me
Words come so hard
But what my heart says I will give you
Because you are in love
Your eyes begin to open
As if you had awaken from a sleep Because you are in love
You use imagination
And lose your concentration
When someone drops his name
You're back in his arms as always
Your day-dreams work out that way
It's all just a trick you mind plays
The more love grows
The more it says the same
But I love him so
(Same little girl who's sure)
That she loves him so
(Sees with a woman's vision knows what a woman knows)
Because we are in love
We reach for our tomorrows
And know we won't be lonely In laughter and in sorrows
Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our love forever
You and I Because we are in love
When love abides
There is the place we'll keep our home forever
You and I because we are in love.

PREACHER: We are gathered here today to Michael and Rachael Jackson in Holy matrimony. Do you, Michael Joseph Jackson, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?

PREACHER: And do you, Rachael Caroline Jackson, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?

RACHAEL: I do.

PREACHER: Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife... Again! You may kiss the bride!
