Well, the time is here. I'm flying out to take a little mini-vacation. At the end of it, I'll go watch her marry someone else. I'll smile. I'll wish her happiness. I'll mean it. I'll wish him happiness. I'll mean it.

I'll join in toasts to their marriage. I'll mean it. I'll laugh, and I'll sniffle. People will believe I have tears of joy. I'll let them believe that. Some of them will be.

I'll dance. I'll drink, though I probably won't let myself get drunk. At some point, I'll dance with her.

I wouldn't miss it for the world, yet the whole time, I'll wish I could be anywhere else.
