Lee Greenwood Ring On Her Finger Time On Her Hands Lyrics

Ring On Her Finger Time On Her Hands Lyrics

(Don Goodman/Mary Ann Kennedy/Pam Rose) 

She stood before God, her family & friends 
& vowed that she`d never love anyone else again, only me 
As pure as her gown of white, she stood by my side 
& 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 

CHORUS: 
She had a ring on her finger & 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 
& 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 3-bedroom prison, she tried to make a home 
Her love slowly died, but the fire inside still burned 
& the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn 

(chorus x2)
