More Than Gold

Old man working at his bench Shapes a circle with steady hands He can craft the finest gold But he can't forge love's true plans Young hearts smiling, hand in hand Simple bands are all they own Yet the richest thing they carry Is a love that's fully grown Every promise starts one day With a dream and hopeful eyes Love keeps shining through the years When it's cared for all our lives More than gold Don't take love for granted now More than gold Keep your promise, keep your vow Some wear bands with diamonds bright Some wear rings both plain and small Some have worn them fifty years Still they answer every call Some leave theirs inside a drawer Or resting in the glove compartment Thinking they'll put it on again When they head back home at night Little moments, little words Keep a faithful heart alive Love grows stronger every day When two souls choose not just to survive More than gold Don't take love for granted now More than gold Keep your promise, keep your vow Gold will never dry your tears It won't hold you through the night Hands that reach with gentle care Turn the darkest days to light Every morning brings a choice Every sunset asks the same Keep the fire burning warm Love is more than just a name More than gold Don't take love for granted now More than gold Keep your promise, keep your vow More than gold... It's not the ring that tells the story. It's the hearts that choose each other, Again... and again.
