George Jones With Tammy Wynette - Golden Ring lyrics

rate me

In a pawn shop in Chicago<br />

On a sunny summer day<br />

A couple gazes at the wedding rings<br />

There on display<br />

<br />

She smiles n' nods her head<br />

As he says, "Honey, that's for you<br />

It's not much but it's the best<br />

That I can do"<br />

<br />

Golden rings with one tiny little stone<br />

(Golden ring)<br />

Waiting there for someone to take you home<br />

(Waiting there)<br />

<br />

By itself it's just a cold metallic thing<br />

(By itself)<br />

Only love can make a golden wedding ring<br />

<br />

In a little wedding chapel, later on that afternoon<br />

An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune<br />

Tears roll down her cheeks<br />

And happy thoughts run through her head<br />

As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed"<br />

<br />

Golden ring with one tiny little stone<br />

(Golden ring)<br />

Shining ring, now, at last, it's found a home<br />

(Shining ring)<br />

<br />

By itself, it's just a cold metallic thing<br />

(By itself)<br />

Only love can make a golden wedding ring<br />

<br />

In a small two room apartment<br />

As they fought their final round<br />

He says, "You won't admit it<br />

But I know you're leavin' town"<br />

<br />

She says, "One thing's for certain<br />

I don't love you any more"<br />

And throws down the ring<br />

As she walks out the door<br />

<br />

Golden ring with one tiny little stone<br />

(Golden ring)<br />

Cast aside like the love that's dead and gone<br />

(Cast aside)<br />

<br />

By itself it's just a cold metallic thing<br />

(By itself)<br />

Only love can make a golden wedding ring<br />

<br />

In a pawn shop in Chicago<br />

On a sunny summer day<br />

A couple gazes at the wedding rings<br />

There on display , golden ring
