(crystal bernard)

Thank you for asking
Its a beautiful ring
A symbol of love surrendering
But I dont believe in
To have and to hold
Its not worth its weight in gold

Here in my music box
Are old souvenirs
Love that was promised through the years
The hinges are broken
The music is gone
The memory still lives on

What I did for love
He gave me a promise ring
I cried - then I gave him my life
He left - and I learned to live by myself
I tried - but it wasnt enough
What I did for love

Small cinderella doesnt turn anymore
Her face isnt like it was before
The rosette of gold was in the shape
Of a heart
But years let it fall apart

What I did for love
He gave an engagement ring
I cried - then I gave him my life
He left - and I learned to live by myself
I tried - but it wasnt enough
What I did for love

Charms on my bracelet count the years wed grow old
Its funny I thought it was gold
But one thing still shinging is my old weddings band
The mark is still on my hand

What I did for love
He gave me a wedding ring
I cried - then I gave him my life
He left - and I learned to live by myself
I tried - but it wasnt enough
What I did for love

So thank you for asking its a beautiful ring
A symbol of love surrendering
Valued for rarity - not for its weight
I guess you just came too late
