Story Behind The Song
This song initially was about friends in general, however it evolved into more about marriage and friendship since Paul has been married for 22 years.
Song Description
This song has a clever and different way of the telling the listener that he is married to his best friend by stating "She Wears My Ring" rather than coming out and saying that is married. The strong message of the song is that marriage and friendship are the same.

Lyrics
She Wears My Ring
My yearbook's filled with faded faces from my high school days
Dream dates and dances, drifting smiles and football games
Pictures and signatures and promises from friends
And the girl that swore she'd never drift from my hands
CHORUS
FRIENDSHIPS ARE LIKE THE OCEANS EVER CHANGING TIDE
MINE ALWAYS FADE AWAY LIKE WAVES ON SOME SHORELINE
BUT I'VE FOUND FEW REMAIN WHEN I'VE LOST EVERYTHING
UNLIKE THE FRIEND OF MY LIFETIME
SHE WEARS MY RING
She holds my hopes and dreams like their her long lost child
And mend's our disagreements with forgiveness and a smile
I've learned when angry words flirt with foolish pride
Love brings forgiveness each and every time
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Most my friends of have come and gone
But their memories linger on and on
REPEAT CHORUS
