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 head as he says, “Honey, that’s for you, it’s not much, but it’s the
best that I can do"
(Chorus)
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
Waitmg there for someone to take it home
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic 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”
(Chorus)
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
In a small two room apartment as they fight their final round
He says, “You won’t admit it, but I know you’re runnin’ ‘round”
She says, “One thing’s for certain, I don’t love you anymore”
And throws down the ring as she walks out the door
(Chorus)
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
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
Golden Ring
