Fade Into The Background

(album: Year Of The Gentleman - 2008)

She looks so good in that white dress
At the far end of the aisle
Standing where I should be standing,
Some other man on his face there's a smile
I just walked in sat down silent
I stood outside for awhile
Wondering why did I come here
Face it you messed up and now
she's with somebody else
Yeah yeah

And now all I can do is smile and fade into the background
I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background

Such a lovely reception
I sat here sipping Rosete
Then we catch eyes for a second
Both of us smile then quickly look away
Funny you don't know what you got
till you ain't got it no more
put down my glass grab a bottle
I throw it back and I shout she's with somebody else

And now all I can do is smile and fade into the background
I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background

Sure hate to fade into the background

Ohhh ohHhh Ohhh OhhHh OhhHh ohhh ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh

She with somebody else yeah yeah yeah yeah

And now all I can do is smile and fade into the background

I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background
