Gold Standard

[Verse 1]
Golden bands on their hands in the picture
Fifty years, smiles and tears, they're a fixture
In the town and on the street and every couple they'd meet
Says, "Look at them, her and him: the gold standard"

[Verse 2]
Was a time when you were mine, we were lovers
Drifted apart, broken hearts, there were others
In the end right on through my mind runs back to you
'Cause for me, you'll always be the gold standard

[Chorus]
Thе real deal, and I love you still
Strong еnough, aren't we darlin'?
It lasts and it's pure when you hold it you're sure
The measure, the treasure, the gold standard

[Verse 3]
Lost and found, all around we meander
Talk of the town, they put us down, they lie and slander
But together again they lose and we win
None better, together, the gold standard

[Chorus]
The real deal, and I love you still
Strong enough, aren't we darlin'?
It lasts and it's pure when you hold it you're sure
The measure, the treasure, the gold standard
Yeah, the real deal, and I love you still
My measure, my treasure, my gold standard

[Outro]
Golden bands on our hands in the picture
