Gave Away The Bride

Writer: Doug Supernaw

I should take it like a man
And go and shake his hand
But what I saw today
On the wedding page
Was more than I could stand
All I could do was stare
At you pictured there
You were a lovely sight
All dressed up in white
With flowers in your hair

It should have been me
Wearin' tux and tails
But I never got my initation in the mail
The least you could have done
Was to have me by your side
'Cause I was the one
That gave away the bride

Well I'll bet your dad was proud
When he walked you through the crowd
Walking down the aisle
With his only child
To hear her wedding vows
And when the preacher said
Who gives you to be wed
Did your dad say there were three
Or did he forget me
Like I guess you did

And it should have been me
Wearin tux and tails
But I never got my invitation in the mail
The least you could have done
Was to have me by your side
'Cause I was the one
That gave away the bride
