going for the gold

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

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
