Golden Wristwatch

Golden Wristwatch - Jan Howard/Hank Locklin/Johnny Horton

I gave you my heart

And you broke it into

I gave you my love

And you know it was true

Now a golden wristwatch

I send you to remind

So count the days by hours

And this is what you'll find

When the short hand points to one

Try to think of what you've done

I'll see your eyes of blue

When the hand moves 'round to two

When you know the time is three

Darlin' won't you think of me

And I'll love you all the more

When the hand moves 'round to four

Then at five or six or seven

You know I'd be in heaven

If at eight or nine or ten

I could be with you again

When the hands are embracing

Is it rainbows I'll be chasing

When your golden wristwatch

Ticks my lonely hours away

Then at five or six or seven

You know I'd be in heaven

If at eight or nine or ten

I could be with you again

When the hands are embracing

Is it rainbows I'll be chasing

When your golden wristwatch

Ticks my lonely hours away
