It's a beautiful ring
A symbol of love surrendering
But I don't believe in
To have and to hold
It's not worth it's weight in gold
Here in my music box
Are old souvenirs
Love that was promised through the years
The hinges are broken
The music is gone
The memory still lives on
What I did for love
He gave me a promise ring
I cried - then I gave him my life
He left - and I learned to live by myself
I tried - but it wasn't enough
What I did for love
Small Cinderella doesn't turn anymore
Her face isn't like it was before
The rosette of gold was in the shape
Of a heart
But years let it fall apart
What I did for love
He gave an engagement ring
I cried - then I gave him my life
He left - and I learned to live by myself
I tried - but it wasn't enough
What I did for love
Charms on my bracelet count the years we'd grow old
It's funny I thought it was gold
But one thing still shinging is my old weddings band
The mark is still on my hand
What I did for love
He gave me a wedding ring
I cried - then I gave him my life
He left - and I learned to live by myself
I tried - but it wasn't enough
What I did for love
So thank you for asking it's a beautiful ring
A symbol of love surrendering
Valued for rarity - not for it's weight
I guess you just came too late
Thank you for asking It's a beautiful ring A symbol of love surrendering But I don't believe in To have and to hold It's not worth it's weight in gold Here in my music box Are old souvenirs Love that was promised through the years The hinges are broken The music is gone The memory still lives on What I did for love He gave me a promise ring I cried - then I gave him my life He left - and I learned to live by myself I tried - but it wasn't enough What I did for love Small Cinderella doesn't turn anymore Her face isn't like it was before The rosette of gold was in the shape Of a heart But years let it fall apart What I did for love He gave an engagement ring I cried - then I gave him my life He left - and I learned to live by myself I tried - but it wasn't enough What I did for love Charms on my bracelet count the years we'd grow old It's funny I thought it was gold But one thing still shinging is my old weddings band The mark is still on my hand What I did for love He gave me a wedding ring I cried - then I gave him my life He left - and I learned to live by myself I tried - but it wasn't enough What I did for love So thank you for asking it's a beautiful ring A symbol of love surrendering Valued for rarity - not for it's weight I guess you just came too late Explain Request ×
