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 memory of what love could be
If you were still here with me

You took me from the shelter
Of a lover I had never known
Or loved any another
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

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

(Instrumental Break)

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

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 ........ FADE
