Question
Hello dear,

I know you're going to know this one! haha
Premise: The song starts with the singer saying that he talked to "John" and that John was at her wedding (the girl that the singer is still in love with), and that John thought about standing up to object.

Its really bothering me, and i haven't heard it on the radio in a really long time.

HELP!!

thank you!!!

Answer
Hi Kyla!  The first song that came to mind was Billy Ray Cyrus' "Could've Been Me."  Here are the lyrics and a link to the video.  Hope this helps!

Artist: Billy Ray Cyrus
Song: Could've Been Me
Album: Some Gave All

I hear you just got married
Had a month long honeymoon
And you were all smiles at the wedding
And you cried when you kissed the groom

I got no invitation
I guess the mailman didn't bring it to me
But I see the whole thing in slow motion
Every night as I try to sleep

My buddy John said you looked real pretty
And you acted like you were in love
He said the preacher asked for objections
And he tought about standing up

I told John he must've been crazy
'Cause you were just about to say I do
He just gave me a wink and said all he could think
Is it could've been me with you

It could have been me standing there with you
It could have been me and my dreams coming true
But those dreams move on if you wait too long
It took me till now to see it could have been me

I don't guess I ever told you
That I went out and bought you a ring
I even carried it around in my pocket
Waiting to say the right thing

I pulled it out the other day
But the diamond had lost it's shine
Well I know how it feels 'cause my eyes grow dim
When I think you could've been mine

It could have been me standing there with you
It could have been me and my dreams coming true
But those dreams move on if you wait too long
It took me till now to see it could have been me

Oh I called her just in time to be too late
You know those dreams move on if you wait too long
It took me till now to see (it could've been me)

It could have been me standing there with you
It could have been me and my dreams coming true
But those dreams move on if you wait too long
It took me till now to see it could have been me

It could have been me...
