When Andrea got married
----
Lyrics by Emmett West

----


Thanks for the invitation / But I must decline
I can't attend the wedding / Because it's not mine

And yet I wish you happiness; / This is our last goodbye.
I can't attend the wedding / For fear that I might cry

I had set some goals in life; / The greatest one was you.
But you became impatient, / And wanted someone new.

But I suppose that I'll survive / though minutes seem like hours
I can't attend the wedding / Because it's not ours.

I dont meant to sound unkind / o'er things that might have been,
But I don't choose to be numbered as  / Just one of your friends.

Our pathways have parted now / and mine is all uphill.
I can't attend the wedding; / I guess I never will.
