GOLDEN RING

In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day

A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display

She smiles and nods her hand

And he says honey that's for you
It's not much but it's the best that I can do

Golden ring with one tiny little stone

Waiting there for someone to take it home
By itself it's just a cold metalic thing

Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
Tears roll down her cheeks

And happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low with this ring I Thee wed

Golden ring with one tiny little stone

Shining ring now at last it's found a home
By itself it's just a cold metalic thing

Only love can make a golden wedding ring


In a small two room apartment

As they fight their final round
He says you won't admit it

But I know you're leaving town
She says one thing's for certain

I don't love you anymore
And throws down the ring as she walks out the door

Golden ring with one tiny little stone

Cast aside like the love that's dead and gone
By itself it's just a cold metalic thing

Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
Golden ring
