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
AND HE SAYS
HONEY THAT'S FOR YOU
IT'S NOT MUCH
BUT IT'S THE BEST
THAT I CAN DO
GOLDEN RING
WITH ONE TINY
LITTLE STONE
WAITING THERE
FOR SOMEONE
TO TAKE IT HOME
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 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
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
WITH ONE TINY
LITTLE STONE
CAST ASIDE
LIKE THE LOVE
THAT'S DEAD AND GONE
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
