"Wedding Bell Blues," written by Laura Nyro and produced by "The 5th Dimension," spent 3 weeks in 1969 in the #1 spot on the U. S. pop singles chart. I thought of it this week when I was in the thick of wedding plans for my daughter Madeleine, referred to below as "Mad." Here goes:
Mad, I love you so, I always will
I look at you and see the child born in May
Oh, but what a trip it is to plan your wedding day.
I am on the phone now making arrangements
Keeping track of details and all the payments
But nothing will stop me worrying 'til you marry him, Mad
I love you so, I always will
And in your voice I hear a choir of carousels
Oh, but are we ever gonna hear your wedding bells?
I am the one who is reading contracts and packets
Stealing myself to the sales pitch and to the rackets
But nothing will stop me worrying 'til you marry him, Mad
I love you so, I always will
And though devotion rules my heart I take no bows
But Mad are you ever gonna take those wedding vows?
Oh, come on Mad
Oh, come on Mad
Come on and marry him, Mad
I got the wedding plan blues
Please marry him, Mad
I got the wedding plan blues.
