Vesta Williams – Congratulations lyrics

Saw an old friend on the street.
She said today's your wedding.
My heart stopped, the tears dropped.
Saw my whole life pass me by.
I had to see you, baby.
I never ran so fast before.
I rushed inside the chapel door.
You were waiting all alone.
You turned around and heard me call

Congratulations.
I thought it would've been me standing here with you.
Congratulations.
I hope you're happy,
'Cause as I long as I can breathe,
You'll always be the one for me.

Why was I the last to know.
I thought that we were special.
My soul shakes, my heart breaks.
As I turn and walk away,
I can't believe it's over.
We never really said goodbye.
Thought we'd give it one more try.
Felt our love was here to stay
And now today's your wedding day.

Congratulations.
I thought it would've been me standing here with you.
Congratulations.
I-I hope you're happy,
'Cause as long as I can breathe,
You'll always be the one for me.
Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Congratulations, baby.
I hope she makes you happy,
Because you really need to say goodbye.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
I thought it would've been me.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
'Cause as long as I can breathe,
You'll always be the one for me.
'Cause as long as I can breathe,
You'll always be the one for me.
Congratulations.
