A                                  E                    A
The announcement in the daily news told of your wedding plans

And tonight the one who took my place will proudly take your hand
D                        A     
I received no invitation but I don't think it's a crime
                    E                A
That I came here to see you one last time

A                                           E          A
From the back row of the chapel behind your family and friends

I sadly watch your future start right where my future ends
D                                      A      
I wish somehow I'd made it right while we had something left
                      E                 A
Now you're exchanging vows with someone else

D                              A
I see the red rose petals fall softly at her feet
                                       E
As she walks by dressed in her gown of white
A                                       D                  A
A million thoughts run threw my mind of how things used to be
                            E    A
Red roses, white satin, and blue memories
                            E    A
Red roses, white satin, and blue memories
