Golden Ring

Golden Ring - Doreen/Ruud Hermans

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 ring 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 up right piano plays that old familiar tune

Tears roll down her cheeks

And happy thoughts run through her head

As you whispers low with this ring "I thee wed"

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 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 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

In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day

A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
