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
