Jordan walked over and took the microphone as all the guests cleared the floor so Bug and Lily could have a private dance. The music to Alison Krauss' "The Smile On Your Face," began as Jordan's voice sang the lyrics.
"It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing"
As Jordan sang the first chorus and beyond, she watched Bug and Lily dance.
"The smile on your face Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all.
All day long I can hear people talking aloud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine"
Soon, as she continued to sing, Jordan's eyes left the dance floor and shifted to where Woody stood directly across from Jordan and on the other side of Bug and Lily. He was watching her intently with a slight smile on his lips.
"The smile on your face Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all."
While everyone else watched Bug and Lily, Woody and Jordan's eyes remained locked on each other as Jordan finished the song,
"The smile on your face Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best When you say nothing at all!"
The guests cheered loudly snapping Jordan back to reality as Bug and Lily approached her.
"Thank you, Jordan. That was beautiful." Bug said as he kissed her cheek and walked
over to the piano player.
"That was beautiful, Jordan," Lily said as she hugged her friend.
"I'm glad I could do that for you." Jordan said with a smile.
"Me too," Lily began, "but let's be honest, that wasn't all for Bug and me."
"What are you talking about?" Jordan asked with a surprised tone as Lily smiled.
"C'mon, Jordan, I saw you and Woody during that song. You were pretty much shooting
sparks across the room at each other through your eyes!" Lily took both of Jordan's hands in hers as she continued, "Look…next to Bug, you are my best friend. It took me several years to figure out what I wanted and right now I am more in love than I ever thought possible. I want that for you Jordan. It's easy to see that you are in love with Woody and he is in love with you. Stop denying it and just go with it!" She hugged her friend again before hurrying off to find her husband. Jordan watched as she ran up to Bug and wrapped her arms around him. She smiled as she felt a hand touch her back gently. She turned around and came face to face with Woody.
