I chased a lot of rainbows
|
Down a lot of roads
|
Thinking love was something to be bought or sold
|
But I finally found a treasure
|
And it's right here in your eyes
|
Now my golden dreams are of golden rings
|
Precious love without a price
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I'm going for the gold
|
For the heart's that's in you
|
I'm going for the love
|
That I know will be true
|
I've had enough
|
Of those one night stands
|
I'm going for the gold that's in a wedding band
|
|
I followed those illusions
|
That sparkled in the night
|
But they were fantasies that disappeared in the light
|
The midnight fires that burned so bright
|
Turn to ashes in the dawn
|
I didn't realize how empty I was inside
|
Until you came along
|
|
[Chorus x4]
|
|
[Fade out]
|
