lyrics

Well I heard from a friend of a friend of mine
That you and Gary got married last Valentines
Well I just choked down a breath, ordered more wine
As the news settled dark on my day
And I was thinking, surely you can’t know him too well
It’s been less than a year, as far as I can tell
Cause I can still feel you there, in the air of each day
Since I danced with you after you’d caught that bouquet
That night when the lanterns burned low and the feelings were high
And the sun went down over a lavender sky
You just kicked off your high heels and I loosened my tie
As the newlyweds both lead the way
We were so filled with romance and sparkling wine
And we slow danced as the old band played time after time
And right there, all my cares just unravelled away
To be dancing with the girl who’d just caught the bouquet
I never asked for your number, it never felt like the right time
And I don’t recall you ever asking for mine
But you held me like home, so brave and so fine
As the party just faded away
And all the glasses raised up, praising the fortunate groom
Still I was the luckiest guy in the room
To be moving so close in a three four sway
In the arms of the girl who’d just caught the bouquet
Those dreams that come in the night and disappear with the dawn
As I closed my eyes to your shimmering light, you were gone
The very next morning.
Now I’ve replayed it thousands of times in my mind
How does magic like that ever get left behind
Cause now you’re long gone, the ring’s on and the papers are signed
And you’re carrying Gary’s last name
I knew when you caught those white roses it was all meant to be
Still I believed somehow it would turn out to be me
Who would stand at your side to steal you away
And dance with you after you’d thrown your bouquet.
