The Organ Never Played

Oh we promised, the band was forever
Looking forward to the day that we would wed
She was my very own betrothed
But the organ was to play that day

In my whole life, there were many sorrows
But I've never felt such pain before
Because she was my sweet little angel
And the organ was to play that day

I was waiting up the aisle when I got the message
That a jealous lover took her life
Those words I will always remember
For the organ never played that day

[spoken]
As I waited I kept thinking
That soon we two shall be one
And at least that lovely march will play
As she comes up to join me here
But nay, that was never to be
For that day the organ never played

[sung]
Oh how I cried, oh how I cried
For my sweet little angel has gone, I know, forever
And the organ never played that day
And the organ it never played that day
And the organ was to play that day
