I am gathered here together to wish a close friend goodbye
But I'm afraid I'll go to pieces again the minute that you march by
The announcer in the paper said that I'm to be the best man
And I'm afraid I'll go to pieces again the minute that you march by

I found out too late that I love you
And I'll die when he takes your hand
I'm the best man in more ways than one
But I waited too long to prove it
Cause I'm the best man in more ways than one

And I didn't know that I'd love you so
And find what I need just in time to lose it
Now the wedding march is playing
And soon the knot will be tied
But I won't conceal the way that I feel
When it's my turn to kiss the bride
Then I'm sure you'll know that I love you
Cause I'll hold on as long as I can
And maybe someday
If things don't work out, you'll discover that I'm the best man.
