I know the reason why you think you gotta leave Promises of future glory don't make a case for me I did my best and all the rest is hidden by the clouds I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now Leave it now, your wedding day, all calm and dressed in white All I keep's the memory of one last crooked night The pews are getting filled up, the organ's playing loud I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now Leave it now, your wedding day, all calm and dressed in white All I keep's the memory of one last crooked night The pews are getting filled up, the organ's playing loud I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now Leave it now I know the reason why you think I oughta stay Funny how you're telling me on my wedding day Crying in those rumpled sheets like someone's about to die You just watch your mouth when talking about the father of the bride Why's your heart grown heavy, boy, when things were feeling light? Turning this June morning into some dark judgment night This ain't the end of nothing much, it's just another round I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now Alright
