golden ring

eric clapton

he gave to you a golden ring;

it made you happy

it made you sing. and i played for you on my guitar;

it didn't last long

we didn't go far. and though the times have changed

we're rearranged. will the ties that bind remain the same?

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. well i know that i have been here before;

i've trod on your wings

i've opened the door. if i gave to you a golden ring

would i make you happy

would i make you sing?
