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, it didn't go farAnd though the times have changed
They'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 you againAnd though the times have changed
They're rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?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?Though the times have changed
They're rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?Though the times have changed
They're rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?
