All I Could Do Was Cry

Etta James

I heard chruch bells ring
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
on her finger he placed a ring

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, all I could do was cry
all I could was cry
I was losing the man that I love
and all I could do was cry

and now the weddings over
rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
for them life has just begun
but mine is ending

all 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 cry
