All I Could Do Was Cry 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

Oooh oh, I saw them holding hands

She was standing there with my man

I heard them promise "Till death do us part"

Each word was a pain in my heart

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 loved

And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Yeah and now the wedding's over

Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads

For them life has just begun

But mine is at an end

All, 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 loved (cry, cry, cry)

And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
