[Intro]
[Chorus]
Now that you're gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is 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 love any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night of the honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms
[Verse 2]
I'd wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'd 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
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were just here, here with me
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
Ohhhhhhhhh...
[Verse 2 (Reprise)]
Doncha know that I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon that you'd 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
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me
Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold...
[Chorus]
Now that you're gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is 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 love any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night of the honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms
[Verse 2]
I'd wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'd 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
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were just here, here with me
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
Ohhhhhhhhh...
[Verse 2 (Reprise)]
Doncha know that I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon that you'd 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
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me
Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold...
