All I Could Do Was Cry
Tina Turner

My special request

I, I heard


Oh, I heard church bells ringing

And I heard, and I, I heard a choir singing

And I, I saw my love walk down, walk down the aisle

And on her finger he placed a ring and ohh


Right now, I wanna have your attention for just a moment

Because I wanna tell you something that happened to me

And people, it wasn't too long ago

It was back in my hometown not too long ago that

That the only man that I'd ever loved got married to another girl


And on the day of the wedding, when I

When I finally decided to go to this affair

I took a seat at the back of the church so that

So that all of my friends wouldn't see the hurt

That I was feeling in my heart


And as I sat there somebody was playing a tune

On the organ kinda soft and sort of sweet

Here comes the bride and I looked up and

And I saw my man walking down the isle with another girl


And as they reached the altar, I heard the preacher say

Said, “Young lady, do you take this man to be your loving

And your wedded husband, to love and to cherish him

Until the day that you die”


She smiled and she said, “I do”, but then he turned

And he looked at my man and he said, “And young man, do you

You take this lovely young lady here

To be your loving and be wedded wife”


“To love and to cherish her until the day that you die”

And he also smiled and said, “I do”

And I wanna tell you something, I wanna tell you that

That it was so hard for me to sit there and to hear the man that I love

Say those very words


When people, I have waited so long and I had struggled so hard

I had worked my fingers down to the bone to please the man

Whether he was right or wrong

He was getting married to another girl


And when the wedding was coming to an end

And all of their friends was having so much fun

Just laughing and, and talking with one another

He had the nerve to walk up to me and you know what he said


I'm gonna tell you what he said, he said

“Tina, Tina darling”, he said, “Even though we are apart”

Said, “I'm gonna always reserve a 'Send a love spot'

In the corner of my heart”

Now that was the corner of his heart, he didn't even stop to think

What was in the corner of my heart


But it was a little too late for that because

People, the wedding was over with and we're marching out of the church

Their friends was throwing rice all over their heads

But as I sit there by my self


And all, all I could do, all I could do was cry, yeah

Said all I could do, and all I could do was cry, yes, it was

Because I, I was losing the only man that I'd ever loved

Oh, and all, all I could do, oh Lord, all I could do was cry


Thank you

Thank you very much
