(don goodman, pam rose, mary ann kennedy)
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
Chorus:
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 you somehow failed to keep
he can't blame me
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
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus
