(Don Goodman/Mary Ann Kennedy/Pam Rose)
|
|
She stood before God, her family & friends
|
& vowed that she'd never love anyone else again, only me
|
As pure as her gown of white, she stood by my side
|
& promised that she'd love me till the day she died
|
Lord, please forgive her, even though she lied
|
'Cause you're the only one who knows just how hard she tried
|
|
CHORUS:
|
She had a ring on her finger & time on her hands
|
The woman in her needed the warmth of a man
|
The gold turned cold in her 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 she cried herself to sleep
|
& all the broken promises I somehow failed to keep, I can't blame her
|
I'm the one who left her too many times alone
|
In a 3-bedroom prison, she tried to make a home
|
Her love slowly died, but the fire inside still burned
|
& the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn
|
|
(chorus x2)
