Years Ago Lyrics

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 a**under
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.
