Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I have been walking in circles my own
Ever since we first met
We seem to be in a Heaven alone
The rest of the world I forget
You are so square and you ring so true
That’s why I say dear, to you
Chorus
There are rings that the mystic dreamer
Blows way up into the sky
Rings that are given babies
When their mothers hear them cry
Rings you see around the moon, dear
Rings of love made on the sand
But the ring of rings my darling
Is the golden wedding band
- I have built castles high up in the air
Chased rainbows, too, I vow
I have blown bubbles in vain everywhere
But you have changed everything now
If you say, “Yes”, we’ll hear wedding bells
Where they ring happiness dwells
