Lyrics

I Have A Ring

The streets of home seem smaller now
Since my mother passed away
In my dreams I hear her call me
Like the child I was yesterday

She and Daddy had three children
They were married 20 years
They were divorced when I was little
What is left now after the tears

I have a ring Daddy gave Momma
Back when their love was brand new
I have a ring Daddy gave Momma
As a promise to love her true

I used to wonder when I was growing
Why does a married couple part
Why don't they just sit down together
Work it out and make a new start

Then I learned happy endings Aren't always in the cards
Now that I'm grown I understand it
Day-to-day can wear a heart

I have a ring Daddy gave Momma
Back when their love was brand new
I have a ring Daddy gave Momma
As a promise to love her true

Now I know happy endings
aren't always in the cards
Now that I'm grown I understand it
Day-to-day can wear a heart

I have a ring Daddy gave Momma
Back when their love was brand new
I have a ring Daddy gave Momma
As a promise to love her true

I wear a ring Daddy gave Momma
As a promise to love her true
