Gary Morris - Plain Brown Wrapper lyrics

rate me

Lose the jewels, there's diamonds in your eyes

Lose the look, your painted-on disguise

Lose the dress, that hides the fairest prize

Lose the time, this time belongs to me

Lose your mind, and let the moments be

Lose your all, you're all I'll ever need.

Chorus:

On the outside a plain brown wrapper

On the inside solid gold

But the insides all that matters

And the outsides just for show.

--- Instrumental ---

Soon the years will surely fade away

Soon the time with lines and shades of gray

Soon the dreams will all be yesterdays

If all that's left is what we're feeling now

All that's changed won't matter anyhow

Rearranged, it's still the same somehow

when the outsides.

Chorus:

On the outside a plain brown wrapper

On the inside solid gold

But the insides all that matters

And the outsides just for show.

Chorus:

On the outside a plain brown wrapper

On the inside solid gold

But the insides all that matters

And the outsides just for show.

So lose the jewels (plain brown wrapper)

There's diamonds in your eyes (plain brown wrapper)

It hides the fairest prize (plain brown wrapper)

Rearranged, it's still the same (plain brown wrapper) all the years

(Plain Brown Wrapper) on the insides solid gold

On the outsides (plain brown wrapper) just for show...
