Since you made it plain we must part

But I’m placing it on my right hand

To show that I once possessed your heart

From left to right I’ll make the change

Though the diamond still shines just as bright

As the day when you gave it and my love’s as strong

Though I’m changing from left to right

I’ll wear it my darling forever

Though you?ve done me wrong I’m not ashamed

When asked who’s the giver the tears will fall

But I’ll proudly tell them your name

From left to right means goodbye

Oh what a small ring can do

So I’ll take it from my left hand and place it on my right

To show that I still love you
