lyrics

happy is the face you make
when your love is walking down the isle
locking lips with her mistake
and all you can do is smile

and sad is the face you make
when you didn't know him all that well
you're sitting still and feeling fake
and hoping no one else can tell

happy is the face you make
when you say, "I always cry at weddings"
you wonder how much you can take
well you found out once but keep forgetting

and sad is the face you make
when you say, "I'm sorry for your loss"
you do it for the family's sake
but to them you're only David Voss

should I get up at the very least
and say a few words
about the bride or the deceased
whichever comes first
or should I wait 'til I get home
and put it in verse, put it in verse?

three cheers to you
three cheers to me
three cheers to who we used to be

sad is the face you make
when you realize they're gone forever
one's a wedding, one's a wake
but it makes no difference whatsoever
