For more than forty years - Our lives were intertwined 
And that is why what happened always - Lingers in my mind 
On the day we were engaged - The ring that I received 
Had a diamond far more beautiful - Than any jewel I'd seen
Your parents said that I deserved - The most they could provide 
But little did I know how this - Would quickly change our lives
With the wedding just behind us - A week of music, dance and song
I looked down at my hand and found - My diamond ring was gone 
Your parents did not take it well - Found it quite hard to accept
We searched in every corner - Of each room in which we stepped 
How careless could I be - To lose their priceless gift
And slowly but still visibly - Our ties began to drift
Months later we were walking - In a chill quite cold for spring 
When from deep in your coat's pocket - You pulled out my diamond ring
Look what I found you cried out - My dear you did no wrong
I'm so foolish and forgetful – It was my fault all along
You were teased for quite a while - Were the source of many laughs
But years flew by and it became - A story from the past 
Then I wished you were still here - To see our children grown
And to comfort my unyielding ache - Of facing life alone 
One morning I'd arranged - To clean out some old things
When in my old valise I found - A dusty diamond ring 
I felt my body tremble – As I viewed the stone and band 
It was a perfect copy - Of the ring worn on my hand
Now not a day goes by – That I'm not thinking of
The life we shared together – and your sweet and boundless love
Not only was I blessed – by the kindness you had shown
If what I'd lost had not been found - I never would have known
If what I'd lost had not been found - I never would have known
