We'll See 1916 Kern

[Peggy:] When at the altar rail
you await with pride
when up the aisle I sail
a blushing bride
one thing and only one
I insist upon
and that is I shan't say
That I'll obey.
And so I'll leave that out
and substitute "Be gay."

I'll promise you dear
I'll not foresake you
I vow to take you
for bad or worse,
as long as life endures maybe
I'll see
[Bruce:] you'll see?
[Both:] we'll see
[Peggy:] And I will promise
I'll always love you
while you allow me
my own sweet way
as for the rest dear
well at no distant day
we shall see which one will obey.

[Bruce:] When on that fateful day
at the chancel rail
I hear the gossips say
The groom looks pale!
One thing I rather dread
when it is said
my worldly goods though few
I give to you,
because they're much too few
for such a girl as you.

I'll promise you dear
to love and cherish
until I perish
for rich or poor.
As long as life endures
Maybe I'll see
[Peggy:] You'll see?
[Both:] we'll see
[Bruce:] and I will promise
I'll always love you
At least I think so
I do today
as for that one word
that is so hard to say
we shall see which one will obey.
