(Eric Clapton)

[Chorus:]

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.

[Chorus]

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?

[Chorus 2x]
