Friend of the Bride

On the school bus ridin', first day of second grade

You turned around and asked me my name

That started a story that led us to this very day

I'm sure your dress looks perfect, you always planned it that way

I catch my breath as I walk inside

Oh, dance with me, say that you love me

Oh, dance with me tonight (Say that you love me)

Yeah, I used to be part of her daydreams

But tonight, I'm just a friend of the bride

A friend of the bride

On a back road flying through a Waterville summer day

Ended with you cryin' and me drinkin' away

So where the hell's old Tommy? I guess this whole town's changed

But when the music started, I couldn't look away

That could've been us standing side by side

Oh, dance with me, say that you love me

Oh, dance with me tonight (Say that you love me)

Yeah, I used to be part of her daydreams

But tonight, I'm just a friend of the bride

When can I stand up and scream?

'Cause, baby, you should be with me

We oughta be running away

Dance with me, say you love me

Dance with me tonight

Dance with me, say you love me

You can dance with me 'cause tonight's gonna be our night

Oh, dance with me, say that you love me

Oh, dance with me tonight (Say that you love me)

Yeah, I used to be part of her daydreams

But tonight, I'm just a friend of the bride

Now we're standing standing side by side
