I got a letter today,
an invitation,
and the writing looked like you.
Hello, how are you?
And by the way,
please RSVP I do.
I thought of writing sad words of how it used to be,
but I didn't want to bring you down, no.
I guess the bells will ring pretty well,
if they're without me,
don't worry about me,
baby,
I'll wear the thorny crown.
I will play the clown.
If you think that I don't love you,
you're just wrong.
And that don't matter now anyway.
I
couldn't bear to see you up there with the white dress on.
Here's my vow to you, I'll stay away.
I remember when,
in a lover's whisper you said,
no other man
would ever share your bed.
Well we both know that's not been so,
I wish I'd never let you go.
Now you've found a better man and stay in.
And I wish you health and wealth and a white house on a hill.
And I hope you raise a family.
Little boy and a little girl,
a little more joy in this little old world.
Well that'd be
enough for me.
If you think that I don't love you,
you're just wrong.
And that don't matter now anyway.
I couldn't bear to see you up there with the white dress on.
Here's my vow to you, I'll stay away.
Time goes on.
Dreams they die and I've thrown out the pictures I had of
you and I. But if you're ever wondering if love can be true,
think of me, remember, baby,
like I,
like I do.
Old
friendships fade away,
love falls apart.
But you've not spent a single day outside
my heart.
And there's just one more dream that I have left for you.
I hope you're smiling
when he turns around and says I do.
I do.
