It Should Have Been Me

I saw my love walking down the aisle & As he passed me by, he turned & he smiled The preacher joined their hands & All the people began to stand When I shouted: "You know that should have been me Instead of her walking with you You know that it should have been me Getting ready to marry you Darling, darling You made a promise that we'd never part & Then you turned around & broke my heart Now you're standing there saying 'I do' Holding hands with somebody new It should have been me Instead of her standing by you You know that it should have been me Getting ready to say 'I do'!" Then the preacher asked, "Will there be silence, please? If any objections to this wedding Speak now or forever, forever hold your peace" Then I shouted: "It should have been me You know that it should have been me You know that it should have been me Darling, how could you do this to me? People let me tell you now It should have been me Instead of her standing by you You know that it should have been me I've always been faithful & true!"
