The announcement in the daily news told of your wedding plans And tonight the one who took my place will proudly take your hand I received no invitation but I don't think it's a crime That I came here to see you one last time From the back row of the chapel behind your family and friends I sadly watch your future start right where my future ends I wish somehow I'd made it right while we had something left Now you're exchanging vows with someone else Chorus I see the red rose pedals fall softly at her feet As she walks by dressed in her gown of white A million thoughts run threw my mind of how things used to be Red roses, white satin, and blue memories Chorus Red roses, white satin, and blue memories
