Terri Hendrix - The Ring lyrics
When we were kids Wed lay awake at night And listen to my mom and dad talk about money When times were tight My mom would raise her voice My dad wouldnt say a thing Hed walk outside Turn on his workshop light And hed work on a ring My dad earned the Soldiers Medal And the Purple Heart in Vietnam He learned how to make jewelry To ease his mind on the ship back home The war left him changed He never said a thing Every time he thought about it Hed work on the ring For my mother He made a ring For my mother Hed do most anything A quiet man With words unspoken Proved his love could not be broken Out of a half dollar My father Made my mom a ring We watched him through the window As he worked one afternoon He held the silver half dollar in his hand As he tapped the edges with a spoon When I asked my dad if he was mad He never said a thing It seemed to ease his troubled mind As he worked on the ring For my mother He made a ring For my mother Hed do most anything A quiet man With words unspoken Proved his love could not be broken Out of a half dollar My father Made my mom a ring Every holiday We gather round the table As my dad prays And when we close our eyes Sometimes I think my dad cries And those words left unspoken Ive come to understand Whats kept our family together Is worn on my mothers hand For my mother He made a ring For my mother Hed do most anything A quiet man With words unspoken Proved his love could not be broken Out of a half dollar My father Made my mom a ring Out of a half dollar My father Made my mom a ring |
