The rose is embarrassed to bloom 
   It's just not as splendid when it's seen around you 
   And Jesus came running, and Moses came too 
   To watch as you danced through the noon 
      And the sun is too frightened to shine 
   Its gleam is no equal to the gold in your eyes 
   And the stories that they told, they're just glorious lies 
   And the morning is starting to cry 
      I'll see you in your wedding dress 
   The satin, the lace, how it fits to your chest    
And I'll be nervous in my Sunday's best 
   And the groomsmen, they'll be duly impressed 
      This ring must be polished again    
Jewelry does nothing for your flawless skin 
   And to offer you gold is a glorious sin 
   'Cause you're protected by all the king's men 
      The rose is embarrassed to bloom    
It's just not as splendid when it's seen around you 
   And Jesus came running, and Moses came too 
   To watch as you danced through the noon    They watched as you danced through the afternoon   May I watch as you dance through the noon
