As children we're drawn to gold And wonders of stories told How riches are earned Lessons are learned And all ends well And life is that simple game When loves finally comes our way And if we're naive We can't help believe We'll conquer it all We've found the strongest love And hope is in our eyes Let's not take it for granted All that we're feelin' tonight Chorus I: When bands of gold and diamonds Finally lose their shine And all the stars and glitter fade away There's no way to measure The chance it could last forever But it's ours right now to treasure On the way Tonight all the streets are lined In moonlight and silver twine If we make a wish There's no telling if It's gonna survive 'Cause even the strongest love Needs a little help along the way Let's not take it for granted By letting it all slip away Chorus II: When bands of gold and diamonds Finally lose their shine And all the stars and glitter fade away There's no way to measure The chance it could last forever But it's ours right now to treasure And I do treasure you Yes I do Chorus I: When bands of gold and diamonds Finally lose their shine Gonna lose that shine
