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.??
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.
??All I could do, all I could do was cry,
?All I could do was cry.?
I was losing the man that I love?
And all I could do was cry.??
And now the wedding is over.?
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads.
?For them life has just begun.?
But mine is ending.??
All, all I could do, all I could do was cry,?
All I could do was cry.?
I was losing the man that I love?
And all I could do was cry.
