Lyrics

Shiny, Pretty Things
Writer Ed Bentley Edbentley@mail.com
(Verse 1 )
We were Nine years old, he gave me a dime store ring
Plastic gold with a candy heart
Two kids in love, felt like we had everything
But life, pulled us, slowly apart

Pre-Chorus
Yeah, time flew by, like a runaway train
He stayed home, 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
I stopped in the old, five-and-dime 
Surprised they never closed it down
Outta nowhere, I heard, "been a long time'"
Pre-Chorus
We laughed like time had never passed
He said, "Good to see you home at last"

[Bridge - guitar chords only]
He said, "I've never stopped loving you"
I said, " Yeah I'm feeling that way too"
The noise is gone, truth is clear
Finally know, what brought me back here

{Final Chorus 3 / 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}
