Lyrics

Shiny, Pretty Things
Writer -- Ed Bentley edbentley@mail.com
(Verse 1 )
We were Nine years old, he gave me a dime store ring
Shiny gold with a candy heart
Thought it was love, and we had everything
But years went by, life pulled us, slowly apart

(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, time flew by, like a runaway train
He stayed in town, while I chased, bigger things
{.Chorus}
Shiny, Pretty Things
City lights and diamond rings
I traded love for limousines
Left behind those small town dreams
Yeah, I was chasing, Shiny, Pretty Things
{ Verse 2 }
Years later, I came back through town
Stopped in the old, five-and-dime 
Then I heard a voice, ---- " well I'll Be"
"God, It's been a long time'"
Pre-Chorus
We laughed like time had never passed
He said, "Good to see you home at last"

[Bridge )
He said, "I've never stopped loving you"
I said, " god I feel that too"
The noise is gone, now truth is clear
Finally know, what brought me back here

( Final Chorus 2 / Outro}
Shiny, Pretty Things
Fade like trends, in magazines
But this old ring and a small-town boy
Still fill my heart with quiet joy
Lord, I missed a love like that
Glad I'm home, glad I came back
ooh ooh ooh
So happy I kept that dime store ring
Yeah, so glad I kept my, { shiny, pretty, dime store ring}
