Should I Buy My Lady A Diamond Ring?

I’m just sitting here on this endless delay

Allowing my time to flow away

I’m thinking about that April spring

Should I buy my lady a diamond ring?

There is nothing here that’s in this world

That is better than my special girl

So it’s time to let my true love sing

Should I buy my lady that diamond ring?

She’s been there for me through thick and thin

And her patience with me, it never caves in

It’s time to show my appreciation

By giving her my full dedication

I will keep our flame forever lit and from dying

Whatever it takes, I will keep on trying

This isn’t some line that is used for lying

Her unconditional love for me, is so inspiring

It feels so good to make her feel wanted

She deserves the best, she deserves to flaunt it

I’ve decided to make a go at this theme

It’s time to buy my lady a diamond ring.

Can a flame stay burning without feeding it?

Can a flower stay growing without being grounded?

So I can’t expect my lady to be any different

I must nurture her and care and show her I mean it

Besides, what is this thing called money

It can’t feed you like milk and honey

For it cannot be compared to love

And you can’t take it with you to the sky above

So instead of holding on to it in a cheap way

Why not use it to show I want my lady to stay

This is why I’m doing the right thing

By buying my lady that diamond ring
