A Ring for a Finger

Last time I saw you I touched you,
For the sake of touching a friend;
Now that I know that I love you,
I want to touch you again.

Your eyes show a life that's inside you,
Untouched by another 'til me;
By a joining of my life to your life,
I know that we both can be free.

So a ring for a finger I give you,
To show you how much I care;
Please take it from my hand to your hand,
We've got lifetimes ahead to share.
