One Dollar Ring - Carolin No

back in the days of endless summer

when his hair was as long as mine

we were rich without money

the only thing we had was time

he made me laugh like no one else

and always knew what to do

whatever life would bring us

together we’d make it through

he asked: do you wanna marry me?

in the arms of the setting sun

in the days of endless summer

we became one

we found this golden painted piece of plastic in a one dollar store

he put it on my finger and i promised

i’d take it off nevermore

take it off nevermore

to everyone else it would have been

a worthless one dollar thing

but for me it really was the most

beautiful wedding ring

we got a place to live

where we felt

safe and sound

he took care of making money

he’s what i built my world around

i don’t know when it started

the more we had the less we enjoyed

and all the things he bought us

could not fill the void

we became

like we never wanted to be

caught in each other’s lives

we became routine

i never thought this could happen

it just came my way

with all my memories of those

endless summer days

we became

like we never wanted to be

caught in each other’s lives

we became routine

i never thought this could happen

it just came my way

with all my memories of those

endless summer days

we became

like we never wanted to be

caught in each other’s lives

we became routine

i never thought this could happen

it just came my way

with all my memories of those

endless summer days

somehow what i had to do

was really no big thing

i just hid my once beautiful

but worthless one dollar ring
