Every time that I saw you
With those bloodshot eyes so blue
I swore that I could love you
And that you would love me too

But you never ever noticed
You didn't seem to care
So I gave you my Zippo
And a heart that you could wear

Now the years
Have gone by
And some friends have disappeared
I found you in a bar last night
I wiped away your tears

You asked me
Ah what took you so long
Where've you been all these years
Then you showed me my old lighter
Took out the heart that you still wear

Strange how things happen
I would've put money on this turning out another way
Now there's a ring on your finger
And I'm back home to stay

There's a house down on main street
It's got a dog in the yard
A leather jacket on the bedpost
Red roses in a vase

It's strange how things happen
I would've put money on it turning out another way
Now there's a ring on your finger
And I'm back home to stay
Yeah there's a ring on your finger
