[ Writer: Lee Emerson]      Today was to be a day of fun and fiesta   The wedding day of Juan and lovely Vanessa   Inside the chapel only the padre remains   Everyone waited but Vanessa she never came.      Oh, only sorrow at the mission in Guadalajara   No fiesta, no laughing, no singing   No wedding bells will be ringing   Only sorrow in Guadalajara.      [--- Instrumental ---]      And every year on that very same day in September   He lights a candle and prays that she will remember   Inside the chapel he begs the padre to stay   He swears Vanessa will surely be here today.      Oh, only sorrow at the mission in Guadalajara   No fiesta, no laughing, no singing   No wedding bells will be ringing   Only sorrow in Guadalajara.
