about

I've had this Chorus for ages. Got together with my friend Liz Foster (from Austin, TX) one day to write and we tried to turn it into an ole classic country song, like the ones we both love.

lyrics

GOLD AND SILVER

Glistening ‘neath the store light
Shinin’ on display
He’d lay his money down
If he could pay
Could see a day in Springtime
Gardenia’s in the sunshine
Daisies twistin’ in her hair
He imagined it that way

Chorus:
Gold and Silver
Are very hard to come by
But love is purer
But it doesn’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
Around her neck on a locket
Just another poor boy
Big heart and no joy
Just another waiting girl
Thinking that he’s coming for her yet

Chorus

All the treasures of this Earth
Can’t measure a love and all it’s worth

Chorus



-Liz Foster / Stephen Simmons
