Lyrics

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, oh-oh-oh I saw them holding hands She was standing there with my man I heard them promise, "'Til death do us part" Each word was a pain in my heart Oh, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) I was losing the man that I love And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) And now the wedding is over Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads For them, life have just begun But mine is ending Oh, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) I was losing the man that I love (cry, cry, cry) And all I could do was cry (cry, cry)
