lyrics

Well I've had thousands of dreams
of the man I know I want to be
before I die
And I've heard hundreds of tales
of men who fought in wars but failed
to come home and fight the battle for their wives

Now I know the man I want to be
is the man she's longing to one day meet
who affirms her

I've saved a very long time
for this ring I've seen inside my mind
that fits perfectly on the finger of my bride
But I know this ring that I hold
can never contain the value I hold
for the one I choose to be my lawfully wedded wife

Now I know the man I want to be
isn't buried inside some quota to meet
just to please her
