All the Dearly Beloved/Together Forever/I Do! I Do! Lyrics by Harvey Schmidt

I Do! I Do! (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1966

[MICHAEL]
All the dearly beloved have gathered at last
[AGNES]
Faces from the future and those from the past
[MICHAEL]
Distant cousins and uncles and aunts
[AGNES]
The boy who took me to my very first dance
[MICHAEL]
The girl I used to think was somewhat cute
[AGNES]
My mother's uncle Herbert from the institute
[BOTH]
And they've all of them come with one thing in mind
Just to see us say, "I do"
[MICHAEL]
I do, I do, that's all I have to say
I do, I do, I say it every day
I did, I did, I did it just last night
I said it at the church rehearsal, and I got it right
I do, I do, how easily it's said
I wonder what would happen if I said "I don't" instead...
I do, I do, I do
[AGNES]
This morning I woke up so early
In fact, I never slept
I got down the box inside my closet
Where my very best things are kept
Then I fixed me a cup of nice hot tea
And I locked my door inside
Then I looked at my high school photographs
And cried
And cried
And cried
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
[MICHAEL]
I do!
I do!
I do, I do!
[MICHAEL]
A man and a woman are meant for each other
Are meant for each other as husband and wife
From this moment forward, I promise to love thee
I promise to love thee the rest of my life
[BOTH]
Together forever, forever together
For this is the promise you give
Together forever, forever together
Through all of the sorrow and happiness
Together, as long as you live
[AGNES]
To honor and cherish, forsaking all others
Forsaking all others, I offer my heart
For richer, for poorer, to love and to comfort
To love and to comfort 'til death do us part
[BOTH]
Together forever, forever together
For this is the promise you give
Together forever, forever together
Through all of the sorrow and happiness
Together as long as you live
[AGNES]
There's a strange new world
That you enter when you say, "I do"
[MICHAEL]
I do
[AGNES]
Such a strange new world
That you barely can believe it's true
[MICHAEL]
It's true
[AGNES]
For your friends all shower you with shoes and rice!
[MICHAEL]
Your head is spinning, and you feel so nice!
[BOTH]
Who thinks that marriage is a paradise?
I do! I do!
[AGNES]
In this strange new world
That you enter when you say, "I do!"
[MICHAEL]
I do!
You can almost see that the future's gonna be a dream-
[AGNES]
Come true
[BOTH]
You can throw away your every care and doubt!
For that what married life is all about!
I do! I do! I do!
[Dance break]
[AGNES]
There's a strange new world
That you enter when you say
"I do"
"I do"
That the future's gonna be
A dream come true
For that what married life is all about!
I do!
I do!
I do!
[MICHAEL]
"I do"
"I do"
You can almost see
That the future's gonna be
A dream come true
You can throw away
Your every care and doubt
I do!
I do!
I do!
[BOTH]
I do! I do!
I do! I do!
