Excuse me, I know we just met
But may I have this dance?
Sitting here with a drink in my hand
Your presence I can't ignore
I must admit
I like watching you dance
But it seems like
I've seen this before
Girl, you look like my first wife
Though I've never been married before
So I kiss your hand
and tell you "Thank you"
You turn
and ask me what for
*ÈÄ·Å
For our first kiss,
oh, next week
For when we make love,
it seems sweet
For the ring you wore probably
three months from now
For when you said
"I do" next March
And for those beautiful children
of ours
Yes, I know it might sound strange
cuz we just met
But I thank you in advance
(Shawn, help me sing it)
Hi, my name is Shawn
Tell me your name
Although I know the last one
It's funny that we're shaking hands
[Wait a minute, I know this hand]
It's the same hand
(I'll hold in front of a minister)
Same hand
(when you're havin' my son
and his sister)
I don't mean to sound so bold
and forward
But I thank you in advance
*ÈÄ·Å
It's like I came back in time
to tell you thank you
You were as beautiful then as you are now
Look in the mirror, there is a picture
Of you
and the man you love
*ÈÄ·Å
*ÈÄ·Å
I, I, I, I, I
I thank you in advance, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
