In her honor, I give you this song. I haven't recorded it yet. It's one of 24 that I wrote for a themed concept concert.
He Gave Me a Ring
(Verse 1)
G D C G
He gave me a ring under that old willow tree,
Said, "Darlin', will you forever be with me?"
I looked into his eyes, under that silver moon's glow,
In the quiet of the night, I whispered, "I don't know."
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Am I sure? Am I certain this is right?
Can I promise to hold him every day and every night?
We're engaged now; it feels like a dream,
But a promise is forever, more than it may seem.
(Verse 2)
G D C G
I love him, yes I do, more than words can say,
But commitment is serious; it ain't some child's play.
His heart is gentle, his love is true,
I'm just scared of the future we're walking into.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Am I sure? Am I ready for this leap?
Can I be the one to soothe him when he can't sleep?
This ring is a symbol of a love that's supposed to last,
Am I ready for this link to our past?
(Bridge)
Am Em C D
So here I stand, under the stars' watchful eyes,
Questioning the what, the where the whys.
Can I be the woman he believes me to be?
Can I be the one to hold the key?
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Am I sure? Am I brave enough to try?
Can I promise to love him until the day I die?
This engagement, it's more than just a ring,
It's a lifetime; it's a song we're meant to sing.
(Outro)
G D Em C
So, am I sure? I look into his loving eyes,
And I see a future where true love lies.
Yes, I'm scared, but isn't that how it should be?
For love is a risk, but it's worth it, now I see.
