lyrics

Bells ring, the love of my life is married,
I can hardly bare to watch it,
O my, o my, o my,

Coping until my eyes betray me,
When they fill with tears of envy,
O my, o my, o my,

Oh my, your life is your own,
To share with anyone you please,
Only wish she’d share with me,
My, o my, o my,

She stands in the light of the stained-glass window,
Never seen someone so clearly in love,
O my, o my, o my,

Then somehow she feels my eyes upon her,
Turns and gives me a smile so tender,
(I feel your eyes on me, we were never meant to be)
How could anyone with a heart resent her?
O my, o my, o my,

Oh my, the look on her face,
Tells me all I need to know,
I was right to let her go,
My, o my, o my,

Daydreams come as they vow together,
In delusion I was stood there with her,
But all of my dreams retreated,
When her velvet voice repeated:
“I do, I do, I do”,

Oh my, as the dream waved goodbye,
I looked upon the wedding scene,
And saw what might’ve been,
My, o my, o my,
O my, o my, o my,
O my, o my, o my,
