Golden Ring - Single Version

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
 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
 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 rings (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
 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 anymore"
 And throws down the ring
 As she walks out the door
 Golden rings (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
