Lesley Gore - The Golden Couple - Reno Sweeney - April 1st, 1975

LYRICS #1 He was young and handsome She was beautiful and bright They kiss goodbye the morning Love away the night And they always went together You would often hear them say Honey, you do this and I'll do that And I'll meet you there halfway -CHORUS- How they smiled How they sparkled How they led the whole parade You could see the way they loved each other What a team they made They were the golden couple -Continued in Part #2

LYRICS #2 Everyone would want them They could brighten up the room Or organize a picnic On a rainy afternoon And their house was on a hilltop Where they overlooked the sea And when you looked at them You saw everything You could ever wish to be [CHORUS] How they rode high up on life every day Rode it, till one day It rode them away She woke up one morning Packed her bags without a word Where she is or where she went No one's ever heard -Continued in Part #3

LYRICS #3 And he cried a lot the first week And then he seemed alright He went back to work Even joined a club Then he shot himself one night [CHORUS] How they smiled How they sparkled How they led the whole parade You could see the way they loved each other What a team they made... -Continued in Part #4

Step this way and see The one, The only Genuine golden couple Watch 'em smile Watch 'em sparkle Watch the way they love each other They love each other so much He was young and handsome She was beautiful and bright
