All I Could Do Is Cry (1961 Version)

I heard church bells ringing

I heard a choir singing

I saw my love walk down the aisle

On her finger, he placed a ringI 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 heartAll 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 cryAnd now the wedding is over

Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads

For them life has just begun

But mine is ending
