Here I stand
Holding my hat in hand,
Down on my knees I ask with this song;
You are still my bride--
Can you excuse my pride?--
I was wrong. 

 

I can't say
What made me turn away
Just when you needed me here by your side;
Now I've come to know
That I failed you so
When I left you so hurting inside. 

 

And, angel you,
Your heart stayed true
Trusting that our love would still have life.
And, foolish me,
I was brought to see,
There in the mist--
I had an angel for a wife.

 

I renew
All of my vows to you
And from my knees I want  to repeat:
I pledge this day
That I'll never stray--
Take me back!, Marguerite!
That would be so sweet!
OH, MARGUERITE!.
