Song lyrics
I heard church bells ring
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
On her finger he placed a ring
Ooh, 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
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
The rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
But mine is end-ending
Ooh
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
