Lyrics

RING

Verse I
He wasn?t with her
When a drunk driver swerved into her lane
The headline in the paper said
No-one walked away
Lost in all the tangled metal
Between the twisted doors
Was the ring that he put on her hand
Just one day before

Chorus
Ring the bells of Heaven
An angel has come home
But there?s a ring around her finger
Just like the ring around his soul

Verse II
Alone at his desk
He tried his best to work her off his mind
For seven years of the same old
Seven days of overtime
The wind sang him a lullaby
One midnight drive back home
He fell asleep behind wheel
And crashed off the road

Chorus (repeat)

Bridge
Come to me he heard her say
Let me take away your pain
But you must live for all your days
Before you?re in my arms again

Verse III
In a hospital room
He came to, to everyone?s surprise
With his body bruised and broken
Somehow he survived
He smiled at the doctors
But he didn?t say a thing
His fingers were clutched around
Her shiny diamond ring

Chorus
Ring the bells of Heaven
An angel has come home
She took the ring from her finger
He took the ring from his soul
He took the ring from her finger
She took the ring from his soul
