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 there without me
Don't worry 'bout me baby, I'll wear the thorny crown
I will play the clownIf
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 a 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 soI wish,
I'd never let you go now
You found a better man instead
And I wish you health and wealth and a white house on a hill
And I, 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 a white dress on
Here's my vow to you,
I'll stay away
Time rolls on
and dreams they die
And I've thrown out the pictures I had of you and I
And if you're ever wondering if love can be true
Well, think of me and remember darling,
like I, like I do
Old friendships fade away,
love falls apart
And you've not spent a single day outside my heart
There's best just one more dream that I have left for you
I hope you're smiling
when he turns around and saysI do, I do
