"Plain Gold Ring" lyrics
(2024)
(originally by Nina Simone)
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone but not me
Plain gold ring had a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
In my heart it will never be spring
As long as he wears that plain gold ring
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone but not me
On his hand was a plain gold band
Plain gold ring had a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
In my heart it will never be spring
As long as he wears
That plain gold ring
When nighttime falls comes calling on me
I know I will never be free
I can't stop these tears from falling from my eyes
I'm gonna love him for the rest of my life
Plain gold ring had but one thing to say
Had but one thing to say
It will go with me until my dying day
In my heart I will never be spring
As long as he wears that plain gold ring
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone but not me
Plain gold ring had a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
In my heart it will never be spring
As long as he wears that plain gold ring
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone but not me
On his hand was a plain gold band
Plain gold ring had a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
In my heart it will never be spring
As long as he wears
That plain gold ring
When nighttime falls comes calling on me
I know I will never be free
I can't stop these tears from falling from my eyes
I'm gonna love him for the rest of my life
Plain gold ring had but one thing to say
Had but one thing to say
It will go with me until my dying day
In my heart I will never be spring
As long as he wears that plain gold ring
