Your Wife's Bridesmaid

It's a little weird for me

Seeing you standing at the altar

With enough love to fill the sea

Not for me but for another

Today I'm honored with the place

Of tossing petals for her feet

But on the way I look at your face

There's a rush of memories bittersweet

I am your wife's bridesmaid now

Dressed up in a gown that's one step down

Walking along the aisle but not all the way

I'm almost there to you

But I must move aside and let her pass

Why do I feel like I missed my chance?

You're promising your vows and taking out the ring

I guess you'll never know the truth 

Still, I'll always be a friend to you

Of course you know that I'm proud

That you've come so far

It's actually funny you're nervous

Though you're pretending you aren't

I'll just straighten your tie

And gently tuck that loose strand away

As I gaze into your eyes

I wish I could ask you to stay

But I am your wife's bridesmaid now

Dressed up in a gown that's one step down

Walking along the aisle though not all the way

I'm almost there to you

But I must move aside and let her pass

Why do I feel like I missed my chance?

You're promising your vows and taking out the ring

I guess you'll never know the truth

Still, I'll still always be a friend to you

Ooh, these petty tears 

You think they're of joy and I so wish they were

But I realize now that even if we're holding each other closely

I'll miss you like you're a hundred miles away from me

Nonetheless, I'll be here

Congratulations to you, my dear

I am your wife's bridesmaid now

Dressed up in a gown that's one step down

Walking along the aisle though not all the way

I'm almost there to you

But I must move aside and let her pass

Why do I feel like I missed my chance?

You're promising your vows and taking out the ring 

I guess you'll never know the truth

I am your wife's bridesmaid now

Dressed up in a gown that's one step down

Walking along the aisle though not all the way

I'm almost there to you

But I must move aside and let her pass

Why do I feel like I missed my chance?

You're promising your vows and taking out the ring

This hurts more than I expected it to 

Still, I'll still always be a friend to you
