Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands Lyrics

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 ′til 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

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

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

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
