I remember when you said 
With this ring I Thee wed
Now you've gone, betrayed my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust

Tears can't wash away the sin
Love that's dead can't live again
Knowing there's no hope for us
Turns these rings of gold to rust

Plans we made just yesterday 
Sands of time have chipped away
Now they've crumbled into dust
Rings of gold have turned to rust

(Instrumental Break)

Love before was clean and pure
Never more can I be sure
You will not betray my trust
Rings of gold have turned to rust
