[ Featuring Caroline du Preez ]
In a pawn shop in the city
On a sally summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display
She smiles and nods her head
And he says, honey, that's for you
It's not much, but it's the best
That I can do
Golden rings (Golden ring)
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there (Waiting there)
For someone to take it home
By itself (By itself)
It's just a cold lonely 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
Happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low
With this ring, I thee wed
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 and lonely thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
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
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
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 and lonely thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a pawn shop in the city
On a sally summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display
Golden ring
