Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I heard church bells ringing
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
On her finger, he placed a ring, whoa
[Verse 2]
I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise, till death do us part
Each word was a pain in my heart
[Verse 3]
Oh, all I could do, all I could do was cry
All I could do was cry
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry
[Verse 4]
And now, the wedding is over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them, life has just begun
But mine is at an end
[Verse 5]
Oh, all I could do, all I could do was cry
All I could do was cry
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry
