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
