Anthony D’Amato - Silver & Gold lyrics

It's so cold outside
I've been shiverin' all night
The skies are clear, the rain's been here
The Earth it opened wide
But I ain't ready yet to come inside

So I sang you a song of how it all went wrong
Till you took my hand and said understand
That, long after we're gone
Fortunes fade, but love, it lingers on

And there's no diamonds on your fingers
Or pearls about your neck
Just silver in your hair where once was gold
Forget about the rest
Just lay your head down on my chest
And I'll feel like the richest man I know
Lord, I've seen a ghost
Yeah she haunts this road
Late one night in the pale moonlight
She beckoned me come close and whispered
"You can take it with you when you go"

So when the sun comes up
I'm gonna fill your cup
Till it overflows and a
Bright red rose grows, ready to be plucked
And I pin it to your jacket for good luck

'Cause there's no diamonds on your fingers
Or pearls about your neck
Just silver in your hair where once was gold
Forget about the rest
Just lay your head down on my chest
And I'll feel like the richest man I know

'Cause it's hard enough to wonder when
They're comin' for your soul
You know your days are numbered and
You're feelin' kind of old

It's so cold outside
I've been shiverin' all night
The skies are clear, the rain's been here
The Earth it opened wide
One last kiss and then I'll come inside

'Cause there's no diamonds on your fingers
Or pearls about your neck
Just silver in your hair where once was gold
Forget about the rest
Just lay your head down on my chest
And I'll feel like the richest man I know
Oh oh i'll feel like the richest man I know
