(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
