Go on with the wedding; Don't bother 'bout me. Let me be forgotten, Or just a memory. I'll love you, dear, always, But he loves you, too. So go on with the wedding, God bless both of you. I hadn't seen Jim in years. He'd been reported dead. Though Jim was my true love, I soon would marry Fred. The wedding march was beginning When Jim appeared that day. With a cry, I ran to him, But they all heard Jim say Go on with the wedding, Don't bother 'bout me. Let me be forgotten, Or just a memory. I'll love you, dear, always, But he loves you, too. So go on with the wedding. God bless both of you. I stood there, torn between two loves, My Fred and my Jim. Jim was gone for so long, Yet I knew I still loved him. But then Fred showed his true love; He wouldn't stand in our way. He placed my hand in Jim's, And they all heard Go on with the wedding. Don't bother 'bout me. Let me be forgotten, Or just a memory. I'll love you, dear, always, But he loves you, too. So go on with the wedding. God bless both of you.
