Lyrics

v1
On my birthday she gave all she had to give
nothing but a kiss, but that gave me my will to live
it's true we had no money, just a love that satisfies
a band of gold upon our fingers
and Love Like Diamonds in our eyes

v2
I got a job and so we had a little baby
a perfect drop of sunshine, yeah a perfect little lady
we could not save a dime, but we had little baby cries
a band of gold upon our fingers
and Love Like Diamonds in our eyes

chorus
And you can't buy what God puts in the heart
that's why they say what's born of love let no man tear apart
we don't keep no secrets, don't tell each other lies
a band of gold upon our fingers
and Love Like Diamonds in our eyes

(instrumental break)

v3
'Guess you can say the boys and I we've made it
our songs are on the charts and on the rise
we've got plenty, you can't doubt it
but I could go without it
'cause the hard times made me wise

chorus
And you can't buy what God puts in the heart
that's why they say what's born of love let no man tear apart
we don't keep no secrets, don't tell each other lies
a band of gold upon our fingers
a band of gold upon our fingers
a band of gold upon our fingers
and Love Like Diamonds in our eyes
