Golden Ring

In a pawn shop in Chicago

On a sunny summer day

A couple gazes at the wedding rings

There on display

G J)

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 rings golden ring) with one tiny little stone

Waiting there waiting there) for someone to take you home

By itself by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing

Only love can make a golden wedding ring

T W )

In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon

An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune

G J )

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 golden ring) with one tiny little stone

Shining ring shining ring) now at last it's found a home

By itself by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing

Only love can make a golden wedding ring

Ooo-ooo

T W )

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 "

G J )

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 golden ring) with one tiny little stone

Cast aside cast aside) like the love that's dead and gone

By itself 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
