[Verse 1]
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, we didn't go far

[Chorus]
And though the times have changed
We are rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?

[Verse 2]
You came around after a while
Everyone said that I made you smile
It all went well, and suddenly then
He heard that you would marry again

[Chorus]
And though the times have changed
We are rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?

[Verse 3]
Well I know that I have been here before
I have trod on your wings, I have opened the door
If I give to you a golden ring
Would I make you happy, would I make you sing?
[Chorus]
And though the times have changed
We are rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?
And though the times have changed
We are rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?
