The announcement in the daily news told of your wedding plans
And tonight the one who took my place will proudly take your hand
I received no invitation but I don't think it's a crime
That I came here to see you one last time

From the back row of the chapel behind your family and friends
I sadly watch your future start right where my future ends
I wish somehow I'd made it right while we had something left
Now you're exchanging vows with someone else

Chorus
I see the red rose pedals fall softly at her feet
As she walks by dressed in her gown of white
A million thoughts run threw my mind of how things used to be
Red roses, white satin, and blue memories

Chorus
Red roses, white satin, and blue memories
