Eyes for him
Verse
The saddest moment of my life
was the happiest of yours;
watching you getting married
was pure hell to endure.
He placed the ring on your finger
and he lifted up your veil;
when he kissed you on your lips
I knew that I had failed.
Chorus
I was caring; I was kind
You saw me as a friend.
I wanted you to love me
but you had eyes for him.
Yes you had eyes for him.
Verse
The saddest moment in my life
was the happiest for you.
Your journey was beginning
and mine with you was through.
He placed the ring on your finger
and a tear came to my eye.
Your hopes were just beginning
I had just lost mine.
Chorus
I was caring; I was kind
You saw me as a friend.
I wanted you to love me
but you had eyes for him.
Yes you had eyes for him.
Bridge
As you exited the chapel
you said, you’ll find someone someday
but in my heart of hearts I knew;
I’d let love slip away.
Verse
The saddest moment in my life
was watching you drive away.
I’m always going to regret
three words I didn’t say.
I should’ve told you I loved you.
I should’ve put up a fight.
Maybe you’d have eyes for me
and we’d be sharing life?
Chorus
I was caring; I was kind
You saw me as a friend.
I wanted you to love me
but you had eyes for him.
Yes you had eyes for him.

Rings very true.

There's a couple of spots I'd look at if you get it set to music:

"and we’d be sharing life" vs "and we’d be sharing a life?

"Yes you had eyes for him" vs "Yes you only had eyes for him'

either way works, just depends on the music.
