Golden Ring

(앨범: Something To Brag About - 2004)

[Pamela:]
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display
[Porter:]
She smiles 'n' nods her head
As he says, "Honey that's for you
It's not much, but it's the best
That I can do"

[Both:]
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

[Pamela:]
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
[Porter:]
Tears roll down her cheeks
And happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed"

[Both:]
Golden ring (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

[Pamela:]
In a small two room apartment
As they fought their final round
He says, "You won't admit it
But I know you're leaving town"
[Porter:]
She says, "One thing's for certain
I don't love you any more"
And throws down the ring
As she walks out the door

[Both:]
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
Golden ring
