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
