Lyrics
I SOLD THE GOLD
(c) Pam Hanna (BMI)/George Pickard (ASCAP)
I threw away the pictures of the memories
We shared before we somehow fell apart
Left the house and all that could remind me
Im trying hard to make a brand new start
Thoughts of you keep coming back to haunt me
It wont be too easy letting go
I know our days together are behind me
So today I sold the gold
Chorus
I sold the gold that felt so cold around my finger
A band of white is all thats left to show
I cant hold on to love that will not linger
Today I sold the gold
What forced the end and where we started going wrong
I guess you and I will never know
We gave up singing out-of-tune love songs
And today I sold the gold
Chorus
Bridge
Someone else may wear it or melt it down with heat
What used to be so precious cant hold you close to me
Chorus
