Because he didn't record it - whether he's ever sung it live is another question, but I don't think so. That's one of those songs floating around download sites with the wrong artist ascribed to it, possibly as part of a collection of 60s or 70s hits. Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary recorded The Wedding Song. Other songs listed under "Gordon Lightfoot" on places like Kazaa include "Time in a Bottle" (Jim Croce) and "Brandy" (Lookinglass??).
If you want a Lightfoot song for your wedding, try "Beautiful", "Anything for Love", "Whisper My Name" or - a bit of a stretch - "Fine As Fine Can Be".
