It was a sad wedding, a very sad wedding And the tears came tumblin' from my eyes
We fell in love, first day we met Then later on we were wed And as we stood there greeting all our friends Here's what I heard somebody say
It was a sad wedding, oh, how I cried Oh, how beautiful was the bride It was a sad wedding, a very sad wedding And the tears came tumblin' from my eyes
I was so nervous, I just couldn't wait To see you walk down the aisle Then suddenly there was music, all my fear was gone And you came walking with a smile
We had our reception Then we were on our way Off to our honeymoon When you threw your bouquet And rice flew over our heads I overheard somebody say
It was a sad wedding, oh, how I cried Oh, how beautiful was the bride It was a sad wedding, a very sad wedding
And the tears, tears, tears And the tears, tears, tears And the tears came tumblin' from my eyes And the tears, tears, tears And the tears, tears, tears And the tears
