going for the gold

Don Mclean

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...

(Chorus)
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...

(Chorus)
