lyrics

I hope it rains at your wedding and your makeup runs
you go to make your vows and you get it wrong again
& just right then
you have your sister take a picture when you start to cry
that's when I start to laughin and I'll tell you why
I tried
& the tears were mine
not this time

so now I'll send a dozen roses to you just for spite
just for the dozen times we tried to get it right
all night
& the tears were mine

remember cryin' weren't the only thing we done all night
remember walkin' on the beach until the morning light
was right
in your eyes
there was a watery reflection of my highest self
you told me don't get up your hopes
but how I did it well
oh, hell
it's just as well

I hope it doesn't make a difference that I wrote this song
I hope you're livin happy and you're livin long
it's gone
and I was wrong

I'll put my love into a bottle on the highest shelf
I'm runnin late for supper with my closest twelve old friends
and in the end
we're gonna raise another glass of the reddest kind
before we shuffle off to buffalo and let it ride
I'll cry
these tears of mine
one more time
