I'm on my way to your wedding how I hate to go there But I just couldn't stay couldn't stay away for you see I still care I couldn't stand not knowing what this man you'll marry's like What a sad trip to your wedding but sadder coming back When you take his hand and make your plans the plans we made are through And though it hurts and hurts how it hurts my best to both of you [ guitar ] I received your invitation and I held it in my hand But to tear this letter open was more than I could stand Would it matter if I told you that I cried for my first time today But I've got my tears turned often so please don't look my way
