歌者藉歌词叙述某男子去参加好友的婚礼。看到自己心爱的人结婚,意味着自己梦想破碎了,于是也和女方家长一同哭泣。不过却是一种眼泪两样心情。
英文歌词
I went to your wedding although I was dreading the thought of losing you. The organ was playing; my poor heart kept saying, "My dreams, my dreams are through."
You came down the aisle, wearing a smile, a vision of loveliness. I uttered a sigh, and then whispered goodbye, goodbye to my happiness.Your mother was crying, your father was crying, and I was crying, too. The teardrops were falling because we were losing you.
歌词翻译
虽然我害怕想到自己即将失去妳,我却仍参加了妳的婚礼。管风琴正演奏着,我可怜的心一直说:『我的梦想,我的梦想破灭了。』
妳带着微笑步下走道,看起来是那么美。我发出一声叹息,低声说再见,对我的幸福道再见。妳的母亲在哭泣,妳的父亲在哭泣,而我也在哭泣。我们的泪珠落下,因为我们失去了妳。
