Walking by a wedding
as the cherry blossoms sway
in the quiet afternoon
of a dawning summer’s day

Walking by a wedding
what a sparkle in her eye
with the prettiest bouquet
I must say
what a picture-perfect wedding
I’m passing by

Walking by a wedding
as the gentle music starts
see them gliding down the aisle
with smiles
so joyous they shatter my heart

Walking by a wedding
hear the promises bestowed
glad he has found someone new
but who knew
when he asked, that I’d say no?

So,

I’m walking by a wedding
as my dreams are led astray
in the quiet afternoon
of a dawning summer’s day

Standing there and waiting
what a sparkle in my eye
in the whitest winter dress
bated breath,
what a picture-perfect wedding
has passed me by
