Golden Ring

Lyrics
In a pawn shop in Chicago On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings There on display
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:
Golden rings with one tiny little stone (Golden ring)
Waiting there for someone to take you home (Waiting there)
By itself it's just a cold metallic thing (By itself)
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"
chorus:
Golden ring with one tiny little stone (Golden ring)
Shining ring, now, at last, it's found a home (Shining ring)
By itself, it's just a cold metallic thing (By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
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"
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:
Golden ring with one tiny little stone (Golden ring)
Cast aside like the love that's dead and gone (Cast aside)
By itself it's just a cold metallic thing (By itself)
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
