Bobby Helms - The Best Man Lyrics

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 that I'm the best man
