I am gathered here together To wish a close friend goodbye But I'm afraid I'll go to pieces again The minute that you march by
The announcement in the paper Said that I'm to be the best man I found out too late that I love you And I'll die when he takes your hand
I'm the best man in more ways than one But I waited too long to prove it 'Cause I didn't know that I'd love you so And find what I need just in time to lose it
Now the wedding march is playing And soon the knot will be tied But I won't conceal the way that I feel When it's my turn to kiss the bride
Then I'm sure you'll know that I love you 'Cause I'll hold on as long as I can And maybe someday if things don't work out You'll discover (discover) that I'm the best man
