I'm on my way to your wedding how I hate to go there
But I just couldn't stay couldn't stay away for you see I still care

I couldn't stand not knowing what this man you'll marry's like
What a sad trip to your wedding but sadder coming back
When you take his hand and make your plans the plans we made are through
And though it hurts and hurts how it hurts my best to both of you
[ guitar ]
I received your invitation and I held it in my hand
But to tear this letter open was more than I could stand
Would it matter if I told you that I cried for my first time today
But I've got my tears turned often so please don't look my way
