Congratulations

Saw an old friend on the street
She said today's your wedding
My heart stopped
The tears dropped
Saw my whole life pass me by
I had to see you, baby
I never ran so fast before
I rushed inside the chapel door
You were waitin' all alone
You turned around and heard me call
Congratulations
I thought it would have been me
Standin' here with you
Congratulations
I hope you're happy
'Cause as long as I can breathe
You'll always be the one for me, oh, oh
Why was I the last to know
I thought that we were special
My soul shakes
My heart breaks
As I turn and walk away
I can't believe it's over
We never really said goodbye
Thought we'd give it one more try
Felt our love was here to stay
And now today's your wedding day
Congratulations
I thought it would have been me
Standin' here with you
Congratulations
I hope you're happy
Brought the wishes, baby
Oh...oh...tonight you and me
Because you ???
I-I thought it should have been me, oh...oh...oh...
But as long as I can breathe
You'll always be the one for me
'Cause as long as I can breathe
You'll always be the one for me
Congratulations
