Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
Waiting there for someone to take it home
By itself, it's just a cold metalic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
[Verse 3]
In a little wedding chapel
Later on that after noon
And old up right 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"
[Verse 4]
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
Shining ring now at last it's found a home
By itself, it's just a cold metalic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
[Verse 5]
In a small two room apartment
As they fight their final round
He says she 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
[Verse 6]
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
Cast aside like the love that's dead and gone
By itself, it's just a cold metalic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
[Verse 7]
In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at
The wedding rings there on display
[Verse 8]
Golden ring
