Ring on Her Finger Time on Her Hands - Lee Greenwood

She stood before God, her family and friends

And vowed that she’d never love anyone else again, only me

As pure as her gown of white, she stood by my side

And promised that she’d love me till the day she died

Lord, please forgive her

Even though she lied

'Cause you’re the only one who knows

Just how hard she tried

She had a ring on her finger and time on her hands

The woman in her needed the warmth of a man

The gold turned cold in her 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

She cried herself to sleep

And all the broken promises

I somehow failed to keep, I can’t blame her

I’m the one who left her too many times alone

In a three bedroom prison, she tried to make a home

Her love slowly died but the fire inside still burned

In the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn

She had a ring on her finger and time on her hands

The woman in her needed the warmth of a man

The gold turned cold in her wedding band

It’s just a ring on your finger when there’s time

She had a ring on her finger and time on her hands

The woman in her needed the warmth of a man

The gold turned cold in her wedding band

It’s just a ring on your finger when there’s time on your hands
