Don Mclean Going for the Gold song lyrics

Going for the Gold

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 x4)

(Fade out)
