Remember the Ring

REMEMBER THE RING 
Lady, remember the ring, it made your eyes brightly shine You were the flower in spring among the candles and wine Our journey has been long, faded are the ribbons that bind and places from our past reside only in our mind Remember the ring, the inscription it bore 
Gifts that I bring are the best I can afford
If you needed my arms around you today would be the day ‘cos youʼre standing on a riverbed far from town
thinking beauty has washed away Remember when hope gets fooled and misplayed
Remember when doubt casts shadows on the window shade Remember when an inner voice talks down love you made In the soft lights of my mind, your beauty will never fade Remember the ring and the blue Jersey skies 
Hereʼs the thing, you never grow old in my eyes
Buildings and friends may be gone though their shadows still exist Your lips feel the same to me as the first time they were kissed
