( Intro) ( Verse I ) Drove to the church in my suite and tie But I just couldn't bring myself to go inside So I sat alone in my truck across the street watched that chauffeur smokin' cigarettes by that long white limousine. I could just imagine what was going on in there sunlight streamin' through the stained glass and those flowers in your hair (Chorus I ) And in less time than it takes a tear to fall those bells rang loud as thunder and they opened up the doors now I don't have to wonder anymore ( Verse II ) Laughin' and a crying,' tossin' that bouquet. And when you got in that limo I drove off the other way. And I still don't know why things happened like they did. But I parked that old pick-up on that lonesome river bridge. I took your ring from my pocket, and I held it one last time. I watched that diamond sparkle, I drew back and I let her fly. ( Chorus II ) And in less time than it takes a tear to fall, Oh, that old ring went under. Lord, now it's gone for sure, and I don't have to wonder anymore... Well the angels sang like thunder as I felt myself go under now I don't have to wonder anymore
