Mary Ann Kennedy - Ring On Her Finger, Time On Her Hands lyrics

[Intro] I stood before God, my family and friends And vowed that I'd never love anyone else again Only him [Verse 1] As pure as my gown of white I stood by his side And promised that I'd love him until the day I died Lord, please forgive me even though I lied Because you're the only one who knows just how hard I tried [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
