More Than a Diamond Ring

Posted at — Mar 17, 2018

Our Wedding First Dance

Original song: More than a diamond ring, available on Spotify, CD Baby and iTunes

My wife insisted that she didn’t want a diamond ring. So instead, I wrote this song, promising that I will give her “More Than a Diamond Ring”.

To us, diamond rings are merely a symbol. No matter what the size of the diamond is, it is the love between two people that counts.

Don’t get me wrong, as I have nothing against diamonds! While diamonds are beautiful (and most girls’ best friend), I hope this song will always remind us of the importance of the simple things in life, to tell each other that “it’s okay”, and “dance away our sorrows”, “till we’re old and slow”.

Thanks to all our guests for making our wedding day beautiful and memorable (special thanks also to those who filmed and shared clips we’ve included in this video: Andy, Kevin B, Jane, Kevin Y, John, Li, Richard). More to come!

Lyrics

Verse:
  So here we are
  Surrounded by people we love
  Sharing this moment of ours

  All eyes on us
  I'll be careful not to step on you
  While I try to remember the moves

  I look into your eyes and
  I see this perfect girl in front of me
  Keep thinking to myself
  Is this real or is this my own fantasy
  That we are meant to be

  Two in love
  I swear I'll never walk away
  My heart belongs to you I'm here to stay

  Since the day we met we've been painting
  All these perfect memories
  Looking back in time
  It was you who really
  Made my dreams come true
  And today I promise you

Chorus:
  I'll give you more than a diamond ring
  I'll be right by your side
  Whatever it takes
  I will catch your tears
  And tell you that it's okay

  Hold you in my arms
  As we dance and sing
  Till we're old and slow
  Our memories fade

  But tonight this moment
  Will live on everyday

Verse:
  I think of you
  Every second that my heart beats
  I can't imagine my life without you

  Don't hold back
  There are no worries about tomorrow
  Cause nothing can tear us apart

  When you're feeling low
  Just remember I will always be with you
  You can lean on me
  We will dance away our sorrows
  With this song
  Dancing all night long

Chorus

I'll give you more than a diamond ring...

Keep thinking to myself
Is this real or is this my own fantasy
That we are meant to be

Chorus
