I Was There

When she bought her first heels, I was there
When she combed those last pigtails from her hair
When she wore her sisters dress to the prom I must confess
When the last dance was danced, I was there

When I first fell in love, she was there
I can still remember when and where
But life gives and takes and we all have our breaks
When she broke her first heart, I was there

When she walked down the aisle, I was there
When she took the vows to always love and care
With dignity and grace I quietly took my place
With the friends of the bride, I was there

When they had their first fight and she called in the night
Though I knew it wasn't right, I was there
And when he left her again and she needed a friend
Like a fool I've always been, I was there
