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 the sad words
Of how it used to be
But I didn`t want to bring you down, no
I guess the bells ring pretty well there without me
Don`t worry `bout me baby
I`ll wear the thorn of crowns
I will play the clown
You think that I don`t love you
You`re just wrong
That don`t matter now anyway
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 found a better man instead
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`ll be enough for me
You think that I don`t love you
You`re just wrong
That don`t matter anyway
Couldn`t bear to see you up there
With the white dress on
Here`s my vow to you
I`ll stay away
Time rolls on
Dreams they die
And I`ve thrown out the pictures
I have of you and I
And if you`re ever wondering
If love can be true
Think of me
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
But 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... I do
