I Went To Your Wedding
Patti Page · All Hits [2009]
Although I was dreading
The thought of losing you
The organ was playing my poor heart kept saying
"Your dreams, your dreams are through"
You 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 losing you
You 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
