Píseň: All I Could Do Was Cry

Interpret:
Etta James
Album:
The 20th Century Music Collection
I heard church bells ringing
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
On her finger he placed a ring


Oh, I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise "Till death do us part"
Each word was a pain in my heart


All I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)


Yeah and now the wedding's over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
But mine is at an end


All, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved (cry, cry, cry)
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
