She knows what's been keeping him out too late   She never was the kind to sit around and wait   She loosened the locket he gave her,    Took off her wedding band   When he gets home he'll find all she's left behind      Silver and gold haven't they lost their shine   Tonight she let go for the last time   Silver and gold ties that no longer bind her   Now he's left alone, silver and gold      He could have kept her love so easily   It wasn't like she didn't try to make him see   Once she made up her mind there was no turning back   He's gonna understand that all he's holding in his hand      Is silver and gold haven't they lost their shine   Tonight she let go for the last time   Silver and gold ties that no longer bind her   Now he's left alone, silver and gold      And what once was sacred only yesterday   They don't mean a thing as she walks away      --- Instrumental ---      Silver and gold haven't they lost their shine   Tonight she let go for the last time   Silver and gold ties that no longer bind her   Now he's left alone      She's put it all behind her      Silver and gold haven't they lost their shine   Tonight she let go for the last time...
