Music Box Lyrics - Singles - Bernard Crystal

Thank you for asking 

It's a beautiful ring 

A symbol of love surrendering 

But I don't believe in 

To have and to hold 

It's not worth it's weight in gold 

Here in my music box 

Are old souvenirs 

Love that was promised through the years 

The hinges are broken 

The music is gone 

The memory still lives on 

What I did for love 

He gave me a promise ring 

I cried - then I gave him my life 

He left - and I learned to live by myself 

I tried - but it wasn't enough 

What I did for love 

Small Cinderella doesn't turn anymore 

Her face isn't like it was before 

The rosette of gold was in the shape 

of a heart 

But years let it fall apart 

What I did for love 

He gave an engagement ring 

I cried - then I gave him my life 

He left - and I learned to live by myself 

I tried - but it wasn't enough 

What I did for love 

Charms on my bracelet count the years we'd grow old 

It's funny I thought it was gold 

But one thing still shinging is my old weddings band 

The mark is still on my hand 

What I did for love 

He gave me a wedding ring 

I cried - then I gave him my life 

He left - and I learned to live by myself 

I tried - but it wasn't enough 

What I did for love 

So thank you for asking it's a beautiful ring 

A symbol of love surrendering 

Valued for rarity - not for it's weight 

I guess you just came too late
