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
