In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display
She smiles n nods her head
As he says, Honey thats for you
Its not much, but its the best
That I can do
Golden rings, with one tiny little stone
Waiting there, for someone to take you home
By itself, its 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 ring, with one tiny little stone
Shining ring, now at last its found a home
By itself, its 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 wont admit it
But I know youre leavin town
She says, One things for certain
I dont love you any more
And throws down the ring
As she walks out the door
Golden ring, with one tiny little stone
Cast aside, like the love thats dead and gone
By itself, its 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
