Golden Ring Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He gave to you a golden ring
It made you happy, it made you sing
And I played for ya on my guitar
It did not last long, we did not go far

[Chorus]
And though the times have changed
We are rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?

[Verse 2]
You came around after a while
Everyone said that I made you smile
It all went well, and suddenly then
You heard that he would marry again

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well I know that I have been here before
I have trod on your wings, I have opened the door
If I gave to you a golden ring
Would I make ya happy, would I make you sing?

[Chorus]
For the times have changed
They're rearranged
Do the ties that bind remain the same?
For the times have changed
They're rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?
[Chorus]
For the times have changed
They're rearranged
Do the ties that bind remain the same?
For the times have changed
They're rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
