Up The Aisle
Jenny realised on her big day
Walking down the aisle
She was still in love with Ray
It was a hot day in May
The Groom was heard to say
The best man didn’t hear a thing
He just kept touching the ring
The Priest was a worldly Joe
But even he didn’t know
The events to take place
When the bride began to slow
The Groom turned to see
His wife to be
Rose-coloured eyes
Just blinded the disguise
The Priest looked at the best man
Guilt written in bold
He had this awful feeling
How this was going to unfold
The bride stopped and turned around
Headed for the door
Never glancing back
This time she was sure
Ray touched the ring for the final time
Passing it to the Groom
Walking up the aisle
Totally over the moon.
The Groom was in total shock
The Priest stood bemused
The best man's girlfriend
Realised she had been used.
They met outside
Love was in the air
Or would have been
Had the girlfriend not shot the pair.
