Band of Gold Lyrics

[Chorus]
Now that you're gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
A band of gold and the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me

[Verse 1]
You took me from the shelter of my mother
I had never known or loved any other
We kissed after taking vows, but that night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms, I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom, hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door and love me like you tried before

[Chorus]
Now you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
A band of gold and the memories
Of what love could be
If you were still here with me

[Interlude]
(Memories of what love could be)
(If you were still here with me)

[Verse 2]
Don't you know that I wait
In the darkness of my lonely room?
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom, hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before

[Chorus]
Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
A band of gold and the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me

[Outro]
I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom, hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before
