lyrics

When your dearly beloved are gathered around
At that church that you love where the steeple came down
on the night when the storm swept your father away
I’ll be there.

When the priest or the justice or whoever you get
asks the people if anyone cares to object
and the words split the silence like shrapnel
I want to hear.

But I won’t say a word.
Baby, it’s nothing that you haven’t already heard.

chorus:
I want to dance at your wedding
That is, if you’re letting old memories in.
I’ll smile at the bride across the divide
of your grace and your sin.
Because I want you happy
I’ve said all along.
If it’s not me in that white dress, then baby, I promise:
I won’t let the band play our song.

After all of the nights when the dark was so deep
and we clung to each other just trying to sleep
and you told me my name; said it over and over again.

Well, we never held back but we couldn’t hold on.
We just took it too fast, or the timing was wrong
Or we just lost our nerve, and couldn’t say what we meant.

But I have no regrets.
Part of me still believes our story ain’t over yet.

chorus

And I love you still.
I guess I always will.

chorus
