"All I Could Do Was Cry" lyrics

Gladys Knight & The Pips Lyrics

"All I Could Do Was Cry"
(originally by Etta James)

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, oh

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

Oh. All I could do, all I could do was cry
All I could do was cry
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry

And now the wedding is over
Rice has been thrown over their heads
For them, life has just begun but mine is at an end

Oh. All I could do, all I could do was cry
All I could do was cry
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry
