I went to your wedding Although I was dreading The thought of losing you The organ was playing My poor heart kept saying "Your dreams, your dreams are through" She came down the aisle, wearing a smile A vision of loveliness I uttered a sigh, whispered goodbye Goodbye to my happiness Your mother was crying Your father was crying And I was crying too The teardrops were falling Because we were losin' you She came down the aisle, wearing a smile A vision of loveliness I uttered a sigh, then whispered goodbye Goodbye to my happiness Oh, your mother was crying Your father was crying And I was crying too The teardrops were falling Because we were losing you
