I hold the wedding ring in my hands.
How can two loves separate and still be able to stand.
Mommy wanted him to stay, but daddy wanted to leave that day.
Daddy said good-bye to me in his white truck.
He told me he wished mommy and I the best of luck.
"I love you," he said.
And that day never left my head.
I heard mommy cry at nights.
I wanted to fill her tears with beautiful star lights.
Her life needed to be repaired.
She just needed someone else to care.
Daddy calls from many miles away.
Just on certain days.
He wants me to come live in the big city.
But I couldn't abandon mother, and feel the pity.
Years went by to a new life for mommy and me.
Daddy was never able to see
How much pain leaked in my heart.
He never saw how hard it was for mommy and me to get a new start.
Bars, Bars, Bars, I heard them shut.
Its bearing in my heart like a deep cut.
Years will it be before i hear daddy's voice.
Waiting, waiting for the phone to ring, and be re-Joice.
I hold their wedding ring
It feels like a sting,
Burning inside my heart.
Their love was a powerful start,
and it ended to quick.
Its been in my head, ever since.
