When you looked at my hand

Did you see it timidly tremble

While I removed that golden band?

Now gone is the round and golden band

A small and gleaming circle of purest gold

That I once wore upon my hand.

Have you forgotten the love we had,

Or has your solitary heart hardened

Memorizing only the dismal and bad?

Now gone is the round and golden band

A small and shining circle of purest gold

That I once wore upon my hand.

Did you notice the faded trace

Of the silken and salty tears

That freely spilled down my face?

Now gone is the round and golden band

A small and glittering circle of purest gold

That I once wore upon my hand.

I have removed that round and golden band,

The small and sparkling circle of purest gold

That you once lovingly placed upon my hand.

Gone forever is the round and golden band,

Symbol of everlasting love and made of solid gold,

That shall never again be worn on my hand.
