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 sad words
Of how it used to be
But I didn't want to bring you down
I guess the bells ring pretty well
There without me
Don't worry about me baby
I'd wear the thorny crown
I would play the clown
CHORUS:
If you think that I don't love you
You're just wrong
That don't matter now anyway
I couldn't bear to see you up there
With a 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 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, I hope you raise a family
Little boy and a little girl
A little more joy in this little old world
Well that would be enough for me
CHORUS
Time rolls on
And dreams they die
And I've thrown out
The pictures I had of you and I
And if you're ever wondering if
Love can be true
Well, 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
And 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
