Segeralah Menikah!

Memilih judul "segeralah menikah" ini antara prihatin, kasihan atau mengutuk (diri sendiri yang belum menikah)  orang yang terlalu perhatian terhadap kehidupan pribadi orang lain. Bisa juga ini adalah curhat orang jomblo yang sudah sangat susah hidupnya karena belum bertemu jodoh (versi orang lain yan buka aku, aku mah santai - santai saja atuh bang).

Payung teduh - akad

Betapa bahagianya hatiku
saat ku duduk berdua denganmu
Berjalan bersamamu, menarilah denganku

Namun bila hari ini adalah yang terakhir
Namun ku tetap bahagia
Selalu ku syukuri begitulah adanya

Namun bila kau ingin sendir
Cepat-cepatlah sampaikan kepadaku
Agarku tak berharap dan buat kau bersedih

Bila nanti saatnya telah tiba
KU ingin kau menjadi istriku
Berjalan bersamamu dalam terik dan hujan
Berlarian kesana kemari dan tertawa

Namun bila saat berpisah telah tiba
Ijinkan ku menjaga dirimu
Berdua menikmati pelukan di ujung waktu
Sudilah kau temani diriku

Namun bila kau ingin sendiri
Cepat-cepatlah sampaikan kepadaku
Agar ku tak berharap dan buat kau bersedih

Bila nanti saatnya telah tiba
Kuingin kau menjadi istriku
Berjalaln bersamamu dalam terik dan hujan
Berlarian kesana kemari dan tertawa

Namun bila saat berpisah telah tiba
Izinkanku menjaga diriku
berdua menikmati pelukan diujung waktu

Sudikah kau temani diriku
Sudikah kau menjadi temanku
Sudikah kau menjadi istriku
