Verse 1
The wedding is tomorrow, and you will take her hand.
And on it you will place a golden wedding band.
There's something that she knows. You won't understand.
Although you're the groom, I'm still the best man.
Chorus
Once I had her love, I just couldn't stay.
That's why you there, and I'm here today.
So tonight when she holds you in love's sweet embrace,
You'll be in her arms, taking my place.
Verse 2
I won't be at the wedding. I know she'll understand.
I couldn't bear to see you put that ring on her hand.
You look into her blue eyes and smile so tenderly.
She'll be looking at you, but she'll only see me.
Chorus
Once I had her love, I just couldn't stay.
That's why you there, and I'm here today.
So tonight when she holds you in love's sweet embrace,
You'll be in her arms, taking my place.
Ending
There's something that she knows. You won't understand.
Although you're the groom, I'm still the best man.
