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)
