赖世雄教你学唱歌: Unit 13 I went to your wedding

I went to your wedding
by patti page
I went to your wedding

although I was dreading¹.

The thought of losing you,

the organ was playing,
my poor heart kept saying,
My dreams, my dreams are through.
She came down the aisle², wearing a smile.
A vision of loveliness,
I uttered a sigh, whispered goodbye,
goodbye to my happiness.
Your mother was crying,
your father was crying,
I was crying too.
The teardrops were falling because we were losing you.

By singing a wide range of popular material and her own share of novelty fluff, she proved easily susceptible³ to the fall of classic adult pop but remained a chart force into the mid-'60s.
