SHE STARES AT THAT RING ON HER FINGER WITH A FAR

AWAY LOOK IN HER EYES

SHE THINKS OF THE MEMORIES THAT LINGER

OF THE GOOD DAYS THAT QUICKLY FLEW BY

AND SHE REMEMBERS WHEN A YOUNG MAN WOULD SAY

THAT HE'D FOUND THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE

SHE GAVE HIM HER HAND AND HE PLACED ON A BAND

AND ASKED HER IF SHE'D BE HIS WIFE



SOME MAY VALUE IT'S SILVER

AND SOME MAY VALUE IT'S GOLD

BUT SHE KNOWS NO GREATER VALUE THAN THE

MEMORIES IT HOLDS



SHE ADDED A STONE WHEN THE CHILDREN WERE BORN

AND HER HUSBAND NOW LOOKS DOWN FROM ABOVE.

SHE'S LIVED A GOOD LIFE AS A MOTHER AND WIFE

AND THE RING IS A SYMBOL OF LOVE



SOME MAY VALUE IT'S SILVER

AND SOME MAY VALUE IT'S GOLD

BUT SHE HOLDS NO GREATER VALUE THAN THE

MEMORIES IT HOLDS



AND HER FRIENDS KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE HER ALONE

THEY CAN TELL SHE NEEDS TIME TO CRY

SHE STARES AT THAT RING ON HER FINGER WITH A FAR

AWAY LOOK IN HER EYES



SOME MAY VALUE IT'S SILVER

SOME MAY VALUE IT'S GOLD

BUT SHE KNOWS NO GREATER VALUE THAN THE

MEMORIES IT HOLDS



THAN THE MEMORIES IT HOLDS
