The Start

Verse
The lights are soft, the music's low,
Tonight's the night that we all know,
He’ll take her hand, she’ll wear that smile,
And walk together down the aisle.
I watch from far, it feels surreal,
A moment crafted, sealed in steel.
She looks at him, the way you did,
A love like that, I can't forget.

Chorus
We’re all here to celebrate, to smile and see,
The start of a journey, just how love should be.
He’s found his prize, a life full of joy,
She’s everything, his heart’s envoy.
But in her eyes, I see the past,
A love that I thought would always last.

Verse
We raise our glass, we toast to them,
A new chapter starts, a fresh, new plan.
They share a laugh, they share a glance,
It’s his moment now, his lifelong dance.
And though the music plays so sweet,
There’s something hollow underneath.
Her gaze on him, like yours on me,
A love that was, now bittersweet.

Chorus
We’re all here to celebrate, to smile and see,
The start of a journey, just how love should be.
He’s found his prize, a life full of joy,
She’s everything, his heart’s envoy.
But in her eyes, I see the past,
A love that I thought would always last.

Bridge
Commitments made, a life brand new,
Their story begins where ours fell through.
I’ll cheer him on, I’ll play my part,
But can’t deny the ache in my heart.
For in her face, I see a dream,
The echoes of what might have been.

Chorus
We’re all here to celebrate, to smile and see,
The start of a journey, just how love should be.
He’s found his prize, a life full of joy,
She’s everything, his heart’s envoy.
But in her eyes, I see the past,
A love that I thought would always last.

Outro
So here we are, beneath the stars,
Wishing them well, while hiding our scars.
She’ll look at him, the way you did me,
And I’ll smile along, though I can’t quite be free.
The journey’s begun, and they’re walking away,
A love that will last, forever they’ll stay.
