Not Today

I loved once before
But it was many years ago
And today on my wedding
Your face you show
You’re the only face I can see
As my beautiful bride marches down
Down to the altar of love
And old memories come back around
I thought I had forgotten you
After many years, my love you denied
No matter how hard I tried to leave you behind
Each time you were forgotten, my memory lied
Oh, I loved before we ever met
And I loved after you were gone
But those feelings of love weren’t true
My feelings for you was the only love I’ve ever known
The woman I’m marrying is so pretty and nice
The only woman to ever truly love me
Yet I’ve already failed her
For you’re the only face I can see
When I pull back her veil and kiss those lips
And look longingly into her deep blue eyes
It will only be you I’m thinking of
Making our wedding nothing but a bunch of lies
Why did you have to come today
And take up residence on one of our pews
Shattering the façade of stability I thought I had
If only I knew, if only I knew
Just as when I was younger
I’m spellbound by your charm
My whole being is absorbed, entranced with you and you alone
My future rushes towards the way of harm
If I can just make it through the service
Leave this church quickly behind
As soon as you are out of sight
You will be out of mind
But I know that’s not true
No matter how many times I bury your memory, no matter how deep
My mind plays tricks on me
And your memory he keeps
And tonight, a night which should only be for me and my wife
Will be shared with an uninvited guest
Each time I look at her, you’ll be there
Even though to forget you, I’m trying my best
I was so foolish to think
That I could ever love again
For no other woman ever stood a chance
To love another, against my heart it would sin
But my wife will never know
Never know how I struggle each day
To dig a grave for your memory
And hope that in its grave it stays
