A Ring of Tears

He smiles, places the ring on her finger.
She smiles, but then she bows her head.
Cuz she knows that sometimes, love won't linger.
But with time, she'll know if love is dead.

He swears that, that last time, was the last time.
But any promise, can still be broken.
And for her, no more church bells will chime.
Only scars on her heart, as a token.

He smiles again, as he walks out the door,
She cries again, another broken heart.
The weight of these dead dreams, crash to the floor,
Cuz, this ring has weighed heavy from the start


Chorus:
And we'll be dancing, tonight,
Under the full moon, so bright.
Still, she'll spend all her years,
In a lonely, Ring of Tears!

And as her love disappears,
Trapped in this lonely, Ring of Tears!

Well Darlene, I guess she meant it when she vowed, thru richer, poorer, good times, bad times, till death do us part. Unfortunately, he didn't! Just another sad country song!
