This Precious Band of Gold

 

Oh darlin’, how will I live without you?

How will I get through each and every day?

With every breath I take I think about you,

You’re in every thought that I have every day.

 

REFRAIN:

We promised each other togetherness forever,

We promised to love each other ’til we grew old,

But now the bonds of marriage you did sever,

And all that’s left of you is this precious band of gold.

 

I often think about the day I met you,

For that was when you truly won my heart,

And I knew that I could not forget you,

It was plain to see I loved you from the start.

 

REFRAIN:

We promised each other togetherness forever,

We promised to love each other ’til we grew old,

But now the bonds of marriage you did sever,

And all that’s left of you is this precious band of gold.

 

When I think about the day we wed, I smile,

I know there was no other perfect day,

To have that ring upon my finger was worthwhile,

Now I can’t believe you’re gonna go away.

 

REFRAIN:

We promised each other togetherness forever,

We promised to love each other ’til we grew old,

But now the bonds of marriage you did sever,

And all that’s left of you is this precious band of gold.

 

Now you are leaving, and it’s hard to be believin’,

It’s gonna be hard for me not to cry.

All I can do now is tremble and grievin’.

I really do not wanna say good-bye.

 

REFRAIN:

We promised each other togetherness forever,

We promised to love each other ’til we grew old,

But now the bonds of marriage you did sever,

And all that’s left of you is this precious band of gold.
