singing teachers or other musicians - help!

[Meg 50]

not sure if it was this forum or the old P&O one..

On a forum there was a singing teacher who cruised.

I am looking for a particular song to be sung at our Golden Wedding do later this year and can't find the english version which I was taught at singing lessons way back in the mists of time.

I can't find the English version - only a translation which doesn't fit the music and is gloomy. I am sure the version we used came from a compilation book, but have no idea what it was.

The English version was something like:

The ring upon my finger here is a circle of shining gold.
and it speaks to my heart in simplicity
of the promise of happiness that life can hold

that takes us to about half way...


I am asking everyone I can think of who might have the slightest idea if they might have an english version - otherwise I might have to produce a vague translation to fit the music

If you get stuck Meg I can knock out a pretty good tune myself.
