Golden Ring lyrics
FEMALE
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
MALE
She smiles n' nods her head as he says, ""Honey that's for you,
It's not much, but it's the best that I can do""
CHORUS-BOTH
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
Waiting there for someone to take it home
By itself it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
FEMALE
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
MALE
Tears roll down her cheeks and happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low, ""With this ring, I thee wed""
CHORUS-BOTH
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
Shining ring now at last it's found a home
By itself it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
FEMALE
In a small two room apartment as they fought their final round
He says, ""You won't admit it but I know you're leavin' town""
MALE
She says, ""One thing's for certain, I don't love you any more""
And throws down the ring as she walks out the door
CHORUS-BOTH
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
Cast aside like the love that's dead and gone
By itself it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
BOTH
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display,
Golden ring
