Word got around the day
That you found your someone new
I heard all about how happy you were
How she's good for you
The day finally came when she took your name
And you said "I do"
That time of year I hear
Paris is perfect for a honeymoon
[Chorus:]
The portrait that hangs
On your living room wall
Her in that dress
And you standing so tall
And a pretty bouquet
And a ring on her hand
Rose-colored gla**es and
White-picket plans
It breaks my heart to see
She's everything I couldn't be
Still think of that day
We took the train down to San Antone
We found an old dance hall
And danced until last call
Stayed out all night getting stoned
We were so good together
Turns out forever would never be
I didn't want to believe it
But the woman you needed wasn't me
[Chorus x2]
