Lyrics
We met on a quiet Thursday night / Neon lights and your soft smile
We met on a quiet Thursday night / Neon lights and your soft smile
Nothing loud, nothing felt rehearsed / Just two strangers talking awhile
Nothing loud, nothing felt rehearsed / Just two strangers talking awhile
You laughed like you knew my name / Like we met in another life
You laughed like you knew my name / Like we met in another life
No fireworks, no burning flames / Just something gentle inside
No fireworks, no burning flames / Just something gentle inside
I never saw it coming / How small things start to mean something
I never saw it coming / How small things start to mean something
That silver ring on your hand / Shining in the amber light
That silver ring on your hand / Shining in the amber light
I didn’t know I’d understand / How it would change my life
I didn’t know I’d understand / How it would change my life
From your ring finger next to mine / To dreams we never planned
From your ring finger next to mine / To dreams we never planned
Now it lives in different time / Still silver close at hand
Now it lives in different time / Still silver close at hand
Morning trains and window rain / Coffee cups and sleepy eyes
Morning trains and window rain / Coffee cups and sleepy eyes
We were careless in the best way / Letting days just drift on by
We were careless in the best way / Letting days just drift on by
No heavy words no promises / Just a rhythm soft and slow
No heavy words no promises / Just a rhythm soft and slow
Two young hearts learning love / With nowhere else to go
Two young hearts learning love / With nowhere else to go
Time is never faithful / It moves like songs we used to know
Time is never faithful / It moves like songs we used to know
That silver ring on your hand / Caught between the then and now
That silver ring on your hand / Caught between the then and now
I didn’t try to understand / Forever is fragile somehow
I didn’t try to understand / Forever is fragile somehow
From your ring finger warm and true / To stories life rewrites
From your ring finger warm and true / To stories life rewrites
Now it rests with a different view / Still shining in my mind
Now it rests with a different view / Still shining in my mind
When we parted there was no war / No shattered hearts no blame
When we parted there was no war / No shattered hearts no blame
Just quiet words across the floor / Love changing shape and name
Just quiet words across the floor / Love changing shape and name
You moved the ring to your little finger / Smiled like nothing was lost
You moved the ring to your little finger / Smiled like nothing was lost
Some things fade some things linger / Every love has its cost
Some things fade some things linger / Every love has its cost
That silver ring still remains / Not a symbol of goodbye
That silver ring still remains / Not a symbol of goodbye
Just a circle time sustains / Of you and me gone by / No longer lovers no regret
Just a circle time sustains / Of you and me gone by / No longer lovers no regret
No lonely nights to mend / Just family we won’t forget / And a friendship without end
No lonely nights to mend / Just family we won’t forget / And a friendship without end
Still silver still bright / Still catching the light / Of a love that changed its name
Still silver still bright / Still catching the light / Of a love that changed its name
