The Statler Brothers - Years Ago

I didn't come to kiss the bride
So don't seat me on either side
I just came by to see the show
I'm close enough I'll stay right here
I can see and I can hear
Course I heard it all years ago

I hear the organ play a minor melody
Is that the one they call their song
Church bells always make love sound so easy
But "as long as you live" is so long

I didn't come to kiss the bride
Nor come to call the groom outside, No
I can't stay and say hello
That's not the reason I came by
I came today to say goodbye
To somethin' that happened years ago

I hear the organ play a minor melody
Is that the one they call their song
What God's joined together let no man put asunder
But He sure put us under right or wrong

Give the bride and groom my best
And tell her mom and all the rest
That I was here but I really had to go
Reception line's too long outside
And I didn't come to kiss the bride
I did all that years ago

There's no reason I should stay
The groom won't shake hands anyway
And I kissed the bride years ago.
