Jerry Leger - Wedding Dress Lyrics

Do you recognize yourself
All pretty in that wedding dress
A toast to the morning's health
Long way from its happiness
Watching today's sunset
In the winter's biting chill
Thought of us in a single bed
When you were no other's girl

Was it really a short sight
Did you finally get it right
Leave me in the back end of your heart
Did you find a sense of success
Between money and its nonsense
Baby has everything to get her off

You used to live real free
Sporting rags and tying tongues
We'd talk of how nice it would be
Running away to find our fun
But you got the urge and left
When you saw I'd never grow up
Painting pictures of memories
Wasting time on day to day luck

You said it was a silly crush
Said I should put down that brush
Take this life more seriously
But I saw it was just your fears
Behind the old steering wheel
Baby gets scared once the rush wears off

I'm still struggling good
Poor and happy most times
Then I read your letter's words
Never got me off your mind
Would I come meet you
Where we slept in the dirt
And we were lit up like a country fair
And you were no other's girl

That was then and this is regret
But if you could do it over again
Would you really walk the walk
See for me it's ok
'Cause I never really loved you anyway
I knew someday you'd be heading off

Do you recognize yourself
All pretty in that wedding dress
A toast to the morning's health
Long way from its happiness
