Lyrics

Not About The Ring

The day my folks got married
they were just eighteen
and with daddy's pay he couldn't save
to buy a fancy ring
and though he?d talk of what
he would have bought
if he was a millionaire
Mama?d laugh and say she didn't care

Its not about the ring
Its about the love that it stands for.
A sign of what we bring
When we don't know what's in store.
Whether polished gold or silver,
or a diamond in the rough,
Its not about the ring
Its about the love.

The crowded church fell silent
As the bride stood with her groom
And the preacher looked at both of them
And said to all the room
As you put these bands on each others' hands
Before this gathered crowd
Remember what's important is your vow

Its not about the ring
Its about the love that it stands for
Together its the thing
That'll weather any storm
Whether polished gold or silver,
Or a diamond in the rough
Its not about the ring
Its about the love

And the moment that I met you
Was the first time that I knew
There's not a ring to represent
A love when its so true
And I worry that I'll never show
How much you mean to me
As I open up this tiny box
And drop down on one knee

Its not about the ring
Its about the love that it stands for
A promise that I bring
That my heart just can't ignore
Cause there isn't gold or silver
Or a diamond big enough
Its not about the ring
Its about my love

I hope you'll take this ring
As a promise of my love.
