I STOOD BEFORE GOD
MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
AND VOWED
THAT I'D NEVER
LOVE ANYONE ELSE
AGAIN ONLY HIM
AS PURE AS MY
GOWN OF WHITE
I STOOD BY HIS SIDE
AND PROMISED
THAT I'D LOVE HIM
TILL THE DAY I DIED
LORD PLEASE
FORGIVE ME
EVEN THOUGH I LIED
'CAUSE YOU'RE
THE ONLY ONE
WHO KNOWS
JUST HOW HARD I TRIED
I HAD A RING
ON MY FINGER
AND TIME ON MY HANDS
THE WOMAN IN ME
NEEDED THE WARMTH
OF A MAN
THE GOLD TURNED COLD
IN MY WEDDING BAND
IT'S JUST A RING
ON YOUR FINGER
WHEN THERE'S TIME
ON YOUR HANDS
WHEN I ADD UP ALL
THE COUNTLESS NIGHTS
I CRIED MYSELF
TO SLEEP
AND ALL THE
BROKEN PROMISES
HE SOMEHOW
FAILED TO KEEP
HE CAN'T BLAME ME
'CAUSE HE'S THE ONE
WHO LEFT ME
TOO MANY TIMES ALONE
IN A THREE BEDROOM
PRISON
I TRIED TO MAKE A HOME
MY LOVE SLOWLY DIED
BUT THE FIRE INSIDE
STILL BURNED
AND THE ARMS
OF A STRANGER
WAS THE ONLY PLACE
LEFT TO TURN
I HAD A RING
ON MY FINGER
AND TIME ON MY HANDS
THE WOMAN IN ME
NEEDED THE WARMTH
OF A MAN
THE GOLD TURNED COLD
IN MY WEDDING BAND
IT'S JUST A RING
ON YOUR FINGER
WHEN THERE'S TIME
ON YOUR HANDS
I HAD A RING
ON MY FINGER
AND TIME ON MY HANDS
OH THE WOMAN IN ME
NEEDED THE WARMTH
OF A MAN
THE GOLD TURNED COLD
IN MY WEDDING BAND
IT'S JUST A RING
ON YOUR FINGER
WHEN THERE'S TIME
ON YOUR HANDS
