Do you take this woman

(Al Stewart)

Do you take this woman

To have and to hold

To lay down beside you

When the nights grow cold

To love and honour

Never to despise (?)

Oh, in the brightness of the day or the darkest night

And do you take this woman

For better or for worse

For rich of for poorer

Will your heart be (?)

To love and cherish

With every turning page

Oh, in the spring of youth or the ravages of age

Now when a man takes a woman

He leaves the past behind

And forsaking of the (?)

For some times hang heavy

Some men are (?)

Some men come in the night

And they’re gone with the break of dawn

So if you take this woman

One thing you know

From this day forward

You gotta make it grow

And if you take this woman

One thing’s for sure

Oh, you get out what you put in

Nothing more

Now when a man takes a woman

He leaves the past behind

And forsaking (?)

Some men go crazy

Some men are strong

Some men come in the night

And they’re gone with the break of dawn

So if you take this woman

One thing you know

From this day forward

You gotta work to make it grow

And if you take this woman

One thing’s for sure

Oh, you get out what you put in

Nothing more

Oh, you get out what you put in

Nothing more

Oh, you get out what you put in

Nothing more
