Bernard Crystal Music Box Lyrics

Music Box Lyrics

Thank you for asking

It's a beautiful ring

A symbol of love surrendering

But I don't believe in

To have and to hold

It's not worth it's 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 wasn't enough

What I did for love



Small Cinderella doesn't turn anymore

Her face isn't 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 wasn't enough

What I did for love



Charms on my bracelet count the years we'd grow old

It's 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 wasn't enough

What I did for love



So thank you for asking it's a beautiful ring

A symbol of love surrendering

Valued for rarity - not for it's weight

I guess you just came too late
