Lyrics
He stands up slowly, taps the glass His index cards all out of place The room goes quiet, hands go still And a grin breaks over his face He's known the groom since they were ten Muddy knees and borrowed bikes Now the old friend wears a bow tie bright And he says it like it's all just right He clears his throat, he starts to smile He's lost the page but found the style Best man, worst speech, best day Every word is out of order but it's all okay Raise a glass and clap along For the best day with a worst speech song Best man, worst speech, best day Tears and laughter in the same sweet way He may forget what he meant to say But the love comes through anyway He tells the story of the wedding rings That nearly went down a drain The bride is laughing, the groom turns red And the whole room sings the refrain He clears his throat, he starts to smile He's lost the page but found the style Best man, worst speech, best day Every word is out of order but it's all okay Raise a glass and clap along For the best day with a worst speech song Best man, worst speech, best day Tears and laughter in the same sweet way He may forget what he meant to say But the love comes through anyway So here's to the two of you Whatever the cards might say Love is a messy kind of true And it's perfect just that way Best man, worst speech, best day Every word is out of order but it's all okay Raise a glass and clap along For the best day with a worst speech song Best man, worst speech, best day Tears and laughter in the same sweet way He may forget what he meant to say But the love comes through anyway The love comes through Anyway
