[Chorus 1]
It was a sad wedding, a very sad wedding
And the tears came tumbling from my eyes

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
It was a sad wedding, oh, how I cried
Oh, how beautiful was the bride

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]
