Gold & Silver

Glistening 'neath the store light, shining on display
He’d lay his money down, if he could pay
Could see a day in springtime, gardenias in the sunshine
Daisies twisting in her hair, he imagined it that way
Gold and silver are very hard to come by
But love is purer but it don’t shine
You think that you look better in gold and silver
But gold and silver won’t make you mine
Wear it on your finger, slip it in your pocket
Fastened on a necklace, 'round her neck on a locket
But just another poor boy, big heart and no joy
Just another waiting girl, thinkin' that he’s comin' for her yet
Gold and silver are very hard to come by
But love is purer but it don’t shine
You think that you look better in gold and silver
But gold and silver won’t make you mine
All the treasures of this earth
Can’t measure a love and all it’s worth
Gold and silver are very hard to come by
But love is purer but it don’t shine
You think that you look better in gold and silver
But gold and silver won’t make you mine
But gold and silver won’t make you mine
