lyrics

I bought a ring from Yannis
It was a ring for life
I bought a ring from Yannis
For a decent price
We were looking in the window
He was standing at the door
He offered us inside
To come and look so more
He didn’t seem as eager
As the others we had met
Were we just walking into another spider’s web?

He showed us magic emeralds
Rubies and marines
Sunset reds, Atlantic Ocean blues
And snooker table greens
But then appeared a sapphire
Deeper than a mile
Crafted for her finger
Made to make her smile

I still remember just how pretty she was
Late one September in the city of gods

I took a look at Yannis
I knew it wasn’t fake
The look of love between us
More than he could take

He told us take a moment
Go and clear our heads
Take a walk ‘round Athens
Before you’re newlyweds
I told her that I love her
To the moon and back
From The Acropolis to the rain in Letterfrack

We headed back to Yannis
Standing at the door
He said he knew he’d see us
He’d seen that smile before
He told us keep on talking
And to communicate
Baby keep on smiling
You know that life is great
