Jude - I Do
I got a letter today
An invitation
And the writing looked like you
Hello, how are you?
And by the way,
Please RSVP I do
I thought of writing sad words
Of how it used to be
But I didn't want to bring you down, no
I guess the bells will ring pretty well
Without me
Don't worry 'bout me baby,
I'll wear the thorny crown
I will play the clown
You think that I don't love you
You're just wrong
That don't matter now anyway
I couldn't bear to see you up there
with a white dress on
Here's my vow to you,
I'll stay away
I remember when
In a lover's whisper you said
No other man
Would ever share your bed
Well, we both know that's not been so
I wish I'd never let you go
Now you've found a better man instead
I wish you health and wealth
And a white house on a hill, and I
I hope you raise a family
Little boy, and a little girl
A little more joy in this little old world
Well, that'd be enough for me
If you think that I don't love you
You're just wrong
That don't matter anyway
I couldn't bear to see you up there
With a white dress on
Here's my vow to you,
I'll stay away
Time moves on
And dreams they die
And I've thrown out the pictures I had
Of you and I
And if you're ever wondering
If love can be true
Think of me, remember darling
Like I, like I do
Old friendships fade away
And love falls apart
And you've not spent a single day outside my heart
But there's just one more dream that I have left for you
I hope you're smiling when
He turns around and says, "I do"
I do
I do
I do
