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
