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

Oooh 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 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

Ooh

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
