Gold Watch & Chain

Meryl Streep:
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

Both:
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 love me again

Meryl Streep:
Oh, the white rose that bloomed in the garden
Well, it died, dear, when you broke my heart
It first bloomed on the day that I met you
Only now we have fallen apart

Both:
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 love me again

Meryl Streep:
Don't you know that I gave you my heart, love
It was given and can't be returned
You have left me and gone to another
All my hopes and bridges are burned

Both:
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 love me again
Only say that you love me again
Only say that you love me again
