Mary and Ted are on their honeymoon in Vermont
Joel sits in a dark room with the TV on
As the leaves turn brown
He turns up the sound
But it won’t drown the sorrow in his heart
For he loves her, really loved her
Forever now they will be apart
He did everything he could
Gave everything he had
He knows he did his best
It’s so bad and sad
Remembering her kisses
On that balmy beach at night
He smiles then grimaces
This is not all right
He’s powerless and misses
The one who was his light
But Mary has gotten married
The future is not bright
She doesn’t want to see him
To talk to him anymore
Vanished are dreams of happiness
Of that he is sure
Will his broken heart ever heal?
He hopes for a cure
