The first scene was the church
Then the altar
Where we claimed each other
With tears of joy we cried
Our friends wished us luck
There forever
As we walked from the church
Side by side
The next scene
Was a crowded courtroom
And like strangers we sat
Side by side
Then I heard the judge
Make his decision
And no longer were we
Man and wife
I hate the sight
Of that courtroom
Where man-made laws
Push God's laws aside
Then the clerk wrote our story
In the record
A church, a courtroom
And then goodbye
We walked from that courtroom
Together
We shook hands
And once again we cried
Then it was the end
Of our story
A church, a courtroom
And then goodbye
