Lyrics
Eternity
Gold is forged in a red hot fire
And hammered to make it strong
It reminds me of our love
Made to last through it all
I'm so glad you're in my life
You promised to be mine
Having you right here with me
For the rest of time
The thing about this ring
That means the most to me
It goes round and round and round
Like our love
For eternity
Sure it sparkles and it shines
Most diamonds do
It reminds me of your eyes
When I say I love you
I'm so glad you're in my life
You promised to be mine
Having you right here with me
For the rest of time
The thing about this ring
That means the most to me
It goes round and round and round
Like our love
For eternity
You and me
For eternity
I wish I may I wish I might
Be with you and raise a family
I'm so glad you're in my life next to me
For eternity
(Music ride)
I need you like the rain needs clouds
Like the daylight needs the sun
There's no more you and me
Today we become one
The thing about this ring
That means the most to me
It goes round and round and round
Yeah, it goes round and round and round
Like our love
For eternity
