Reception
-Ada POV-
This was it. It was time to give them their surprise. I loved how we got to take our pictures on the beach. Anyways. I clicked a fork on my fake wine glass to get everybody's attention and the rumbling finally settled down. All eyes were on me.
"Um as you guys know Tony had a little surprise for me at the wedding ceremony but what you didn't know is that I will be singing there first dance song" I called out "It took a lot of convincing on my part but they had finally agreed to this song." Where was I going with this? "So um without further or do my mom and dad's first dance." There was applause that rumbled out and I let out a sigh of relief. Here goes nothing. Tali followed me over to the piano while Trevor got two mikes. Mom and dad headed onto the dance floor.
"Ready?" I said not really talking to any person in particular "Ready" I heard.
This song is called A Thousand Years by Christina Perri
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
The flashes from the camera kept throwing me off a little but we made it through. Everybody got up and cheered and mom and dad came over and gave Tali, Trevor, and I big hugs. This was one of the best days of my life.
