Exclusive invitations were sent to those endear
The morning paper called it the event of the year
There was Chardonnay, caviar and a formal string quartet
Her status changed the day she wed, but she deserves the best
And it hurts to think that I can never hold her
She finally lit the fire to burn the bridge
If you see her, please tell her congratulations
And, oh yes, give her my best 'cause I never did
A condo by the ocean, a town car in the drive
A Riviera honeymoon, a good life money buys
She's a long way from our hometown where she once loved only me
She had enough of not enough, now I'm her used-to-be
And it hurts to think that I can never hold her
She finally lit the fire to burn the bridge
If you see her, please tell her congratulations
And, oh yes, give her my best 'cause I never did
And, oh yes, give her my best 'cause I never did
