All I Could Do Was Cry Lyrics by Yvonne Fair

Motown Unreleased 1969

2019

[Verse 1]
I heard church bells ringing
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk, walk down the aisle
On her finger he placed a ring
And oh, oh oh
I saw them (I saw), saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man (My man)
I heard them promise 'til death do us part
Each and every word I heard
You know it brought a pain in my heart
[Chorus]
And oh, oh, oh (All that I could do)
All I could do (All that I could do)
All I could do was cry
(All that I could do, all that I could do, all that could do)
No, oh
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
All I could do was cry
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
You know I was losing the only man I ever love
So all I could do, all I could do was cry, mhm
[Verse 2]
And now (Ooh, yes, now)
Now the wedding's over (Over, over)
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
Oh, for them life has just, you know it's just begun
In this life of minе (This life of mine)
Oh, this life of minе, it's crying time
Can't you hear me
But mine is ending
[Chorus]
Oh (All that I could do, all that I could do)
All I could do
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
All that I could do was cry
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
Oh, oh
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
Yes
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
All that I could do is cry
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
(All that I could do, all that I could do)
Oh
[Outro]
You know, yes you know I was losing
The only one I've ever loved
All I could do was stand up in the back and curse out
I didn't wanna make a scene
Oh, I couldn't help myself
Good Lord, you know the smile he was smiling, I taught him that
Oh, you know he was steady walking in the suit I bought him, huh
Oh, he left nothing for me to do but cry
Uh-huh, I cried, I, I, I, and I cried
Oh, cry, oh, I cried
Ooh, I cried, mhm, I cried
I cried
