A Church, a Courtroom, Then Goodbye

The first scene was the church, then the altar

Where we claimed each other, with tears of joy we cried

Our friends wished us luck there forever

As we walked from the church, side by sideThe next scene was a crowded courtroom

And like strangers we sat side by side

Then I heard the judge make his decision

And no longer were we man and wifeI hate the sight of that courtroom

Where man made laws push God's laws aside

Then the clerk wrote our story in the record

A church, a courtroom and then goodbyeWe walked from that courtroom together

We shook hands and once again we cried

Then it was the end of our story

A church, a courtroom and then goodbye
