Years Ago

I didn't come to kiss the bride so don't seat me on either side

I just came by to see the show

I'm close enough I'll stand right here I can see and I can hear

Course I heard it all years ago

I hear the organ play a minor melody

Is that the one they call their song

Church vows always make love sound so easy

But as long as you live is so long

I didn't come to kiss the bride nor come to call the groom outside

And no I can's stay to say hello

That's not the reason I came by I came today to say goodbye

To something that happened years ago

I hear the organ play a minor melody

Is that the one they call their song

What God joins together let no man put asunder

But it sure put us under right or wrong

Give the bride and groom my best and tell her mom and all the rest

That I was here but really had to go

Reception line's too long outside and I didn't come to kiss the bride

I did all that years ago

There's no reason I should stay the groom won't shake hands anyway

And I kissed the bride years ago
