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.
