Kinks - Autumn Almanac lyrics

I got a letter today

An invitation

And the writing looked like you

Hello how are you and by the way

Please RSVP I do

I thought of writing sad words of how it used to be

But I didn't want to bring you down, no

I guess the bells will ring pretty well there without me

Don't worry 'bout me baby I'll wear the thorny crown

I will play the clown

Chorus:

If you think that I don't love you, you're just wrong

And that don't matter now anyway

I couldn't bear to see you up there with a white dress on

Here's my vow to you

I'll stay away

I remember when in a lover's whisper you said

No other man would ever share your bed

Well we both know that's not been so

And I wish I'd never let you go now

You found a better man instead

I wish you health and wealth and a white house on a hill and I

I hope you raise a family

Little boy and a little girl, a little more joy in this little old world

Well, that'd be enough for me

Chorus

Time rolls on

And dreams they die

And I've thrown out the pictures I had of you and I

And if you're ever wondering if love can be true

Well, think of me and remember darling like I, like I do

Ole friendships fade away, love falls apart

And you've not spent a single day outside my heart

But, there's just one more dream that I have left for you

I hope you're smiling when he turns around and says I do. . .

I do

I do

I do

I do
