Gold Watch & Chain - Meryl Streep, Garrison Keillor

Darling, how can I stay here without you

I have nothing to ease my poor heart

all the world would seem sad dear without you

Tell me now that we never will part.

I will pawn you my gold watch and chain love

I will pawn you my gold wedding ring

I will pawn you this heart in my bosom

Only say that you’ll love me again.

Oh, the white rose that bloomed in the garden

Well it died dear when broke my heart

It first bloomed on the day that I meet you

Only now we have fallen apart

I will pawn you my gold watch and chain love

I will pawn you my gold wedding ring

I will pawn you this heart in my bosom

Only say that you’ll love me again.

--- Instrumental ---

don’t you know that I gave you my hart, love

it was given and can’t be returned

you have left me an gone to another

all my hopes and bridges are burned

but I will pawn you my gold watch and chain love

and I will pawn you my gold wedding ring

I will pawn you this heart in my bosom

Only say that you’ll love me again.

Only say that you’ll love me again,

Only say that you’ll love me again…
