I didn't come to kiss the bride so don't seat me on either side I just came by to see the show I'm close enough I'll stand right here I can see and I can hear Course I heard it all years ago I hear the organ play a minor melody Is that the one they call their song Church vows always make love sound so easy But as long as you live is so long I didn't come to kiss the bride nor come to call the groom outside And no I can's stay to say hello That's not the reason I came by I came today to say goodbye To something that happened years ago I hear the organ play a minor melody Is that the one they call their song What God joins together let no man put asunder But it sure put us under right or wrong Give the bride and groom my best and tell her mom and all the rest That I was here but really had to go Reception line's too long outside and I didn't come to kiss the bride I did all that years ago There's no reason I should stay the groom won't shake hands anyway And I kissed the bride years ago
