Old Wedding Ring

This old wedding ring ain't worth much money. The gold is worn and thin, But it's the last thing in this world That still remembers when. The day I placed it on your finger, I thought forever meant forever. I never dreamed I'd stand here one day, Learning forever Doesn't last together. This old wedding ring Is all I have left to hold. When I miss you most, I turn it slowly And remember days of gold. The world just sees An old piece of metal, But they don't understand. It's the only thing that still belongs To the woman who held my hand. Sometimes I sit alone at night And hold it in my palm, Thinking of the life we built Before heaven Called you home. Our children grew, the years moved on Like they were supposed to do, But every scratch upon this ring Still feels a little bit like You. One day they'll place this ring beside me When my time on Earth is through. Because after all these lonely years, It still belongs to you. This old wedding ring. 'Cause I've lived nearly everything. The house, the dreams, the younger man I used to be. But when I stand before my Savior And heaven lets us meet again, I'll place this old wedding ring Back on your hand. This old Wedding ring Isn't gold Anymore. It's a lifetime I still can't let go away For.
