This Ring

Story Behind The Song

I was playing with my wedding band one day, and dropped it on the floorboard of my Taurus. When I arrived at work, I didn't have time to look for it, and the chorus was born. A year later, I penned the verses and bridge two nights before I was to play it

Lyrics

With this ring I thee wed. And forsaking all others I choose you instead. Now we're right here saying the words, "I do." Proving to the world how much our love is true. This band of gold is pure and lovely. It shines and sparkles whichever way I turn. But this ring with all its beauty is just a symbol. So let me share with you a lesson that I've learned...

I don't need this ring. It's just a symbolic thing -- a piece of gold to remind me that I'm yours. And I don't have to know every little place you go. 'Cause I trust you even when we are apart. There's already a ring around my heart.

Runnin' miles and miles together in sunshiny days and rainy nights or whatever the weather. There's a choice I made a long, long time ago. And in a different kind of way I want you to know... (that)

I don't need this ring. It's just a symbolic thing -- a piece of gold to remind me that I'm yours. And I don't have to know every little place you go. 'Cause I trust you even when we are apart. There's already a ring around my heart.

My unconditional love to you was given freely. It's my trust that you have slowly earned. So I will proudly wear this ring upon my finger to show the world that it's for you I yearn! I yearn!

I will wear this ring. It's a symbolic thing -- a piece of gold to remind them that I'm yours. And I don't have to know every little place you go. 'Cause I trust you even when we are apart. There's already a ring around my heart.

With this ring I thee wed.
