He gave to you a golden ring;
it made you happy, it made you sing.
and i played for you on my guitar;
it didn't last long, we didn't go far.

and though the times have changed,
we're rearranged.
will the ties that bind remain the same?

you came around after a while;
everyone said that i made you smile.
it all went well, and suddenly then
you heard that he would marry again.

chorus
Well i know that i have been here before;
i've trod on your wings, i've opened the door.
if i gave to you a golden ring
would i make you happy, would i make you sing?
