I Do

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, no I guess the bells will ring pretty well there without me Don't worry 'bout me baby, I'll wear the thorny crown I will play the clown If you think that I don't love you, you're just wrong And 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'd never let you go now You found a better man instead And 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'd be enough for me If you think that I don't love you, you're just wrong And 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 Time rolls on and dreams they die And I've thrown out the pictures I had of you and I But if you're ever wondering if love can be true Well, think of me and remember baby, like I, like I do Old friendships fade away, love falls apart But 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"
