Your mothers dress the flowers in your hair

The smile on your face

The sun is shining all are friends are here

No one could ever take your place



The band begins to play

Your dad gives you away



But that's not me, I'm way back here

There's no one could love you more my dear than I do, I do

All the ups and downs that we went though

The road always led me back to you

So who's that standing in my shoes



When you just wanted to be friends

I figured, hey, I'll do whatever it takes

So I gave you space but you gave me an invitation

A time and a place



And now here before my eyes

Stands an angel dressed in white



But that's not me, I'm way back here

There's no one could love you more my dear than I do, I do

All the ups and downs that we went though

The road always led me back to you

So who's that standing in my shoes



I'd give anything to take his place 

To wipe those tears I see rolling down your face



But that's not me, I'm way back here

There's no one could love you more my dear than I do, I do

All the ups and downs that we went though

The road always led me back into your arms, wide open



I've kissed those lips a thousand times

But today a kiss makes you a bride

And me, I'd give anything to be

Standing in his shoes
