All I Could Do Was Cry

My special request I, I heard Oh, I heard church bells ringing And I heard, and I, I heard a choir singing And I, I saw my love walk down, walk down the aisle And on her finger he placed a ring and ohh Right now, I wanna have your attention for just a moment Because I wanna tell you something that happened to me And people, it wasn't too long ago It was back in my hometown not too long ago that That the only man that I'd ever loved got married to another girl And on the day of the wedding, when I When I finally decided to go to this affair I took a seat at the back of the church so that So that all of my friends wouldn't see the hurt That I was feeling in my heart And as I sat there somebody was playing a tune On the organ kinda soft and sort of sweet Here comes the bride and I looked up and And I saw my man walking down the isle with another girl And as they reached the altar, I heard the preacher say Said, "Young lady, do you take this man to be your loving And your wedded husband, to love and to cherish him Until the day that you die" She smiled and she said, "I do", but then he turned And he looked at my man and he said, "And young man, do you You take this lovely young lady here To be your loving and be wedded wife" "To love and to cherish her until the day that you die" And he also smiled and said, "I do" And I wanna tell you something, I wanna tell you that That it was so hard for me to sit there and to hear the man that I love Say those very words When people, I have waited so long and I had struggled so hard I had worked my fingers down to the bone to please the man Whether he was right or wrong He was getting married to another girl And when the wedding was coming to an end And all of their friends was having so much fun Just laughing and, and talking with one another He had the nerve to walk up to me and you know what he said I'm gonna tell you what he said, he said "Tina, Tina darling", he said, "Even though we are apart" Said, "I'm gonna always reserve a 'Send a love spot' In the corner of my heart" Now that was the corner of his heart, he didn't even stop to think What was in the corner of my heart But it was a little too late for that because People, the wedding was over with and we're marching out of the church Their friends was throwing rice all over their heads But as I sit there by my self And all, all I could do, all I could do was cry, yeah Said all I could do, and all I could do was cry, yes, it was Because I, I was losing the only man that I'd ever loved Oh, and all, all I could do, oh Lord, all I could do was cry Thank you Thank you very much
