I hear you just got married
took a month-long honeymoon
That you were all smiles at the wedding
and you cried when you kissed the groom
I got no invitation
I guess the mailman didn‘t bring it to me
but I see the whole thing in slow motion
every night as I try to sleep
my buddy John said you looked real pretty
and you acted like you were in love
He said the preacher asked for objections
and he thought about standing up
I told John he must‘ve been crazy
‘cause you were just about to say "I do "
he just gave me a wink
and said all he could think
was how it could‘ve been me with you
it could‘ve been me
standing there with you
it could‘ve been me
and my dreams coming true
but those dreams move on
if you wait too long
it took me ‘til now to see
that it could‘ve been me
I don‘t guess I ever told you
that I went out and bought you a ring
I even carried it around in my pocket
