Today's the
day to laugh and shout
While those wedding bells ring out
And don't mind me if teardrops start
You see I'm in mourning
for my broken heart
Drink, drink a toast to the bride
Drink to the man at her side
Then bow your heads in sympathy
One minute of silence in memory
Of a love that has died
and never can be
A new love born, an old love dies
His heart rejoices, my heart cries
He starts a life of witted bliss
While I cry my life away in lowly bliss
Drink, drink a toast to the bride,
Drink to the man at her side,
And bow your heads in sympathy
For many a silence
In memory of a love that has died
And never can be
Congratulate them, man and wife,
wish them both a happy life
Then help me lose this misery
and say something nice to Paul
Drink, drink, a toast to the bride,
drink to the man at her side
They bow their heads in self -pity
One minute of silence
In memory of a love that has died
And never can be
Drink, drink a toast to the bride
Drink to the man at her side
They bow their heads in self -pity
One minute of silence
in memory of a love that has died
and never can be
