Skeeter Davis - Silver Threads and Golden Needles lyrics

rate me

(Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds)

I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room

All I want's the love you promised beneath the halo'd moon

But you think I should be happy with your money and your name

And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' games.

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine

But you think I should be happy with your money and your name

And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game.

--- Instrumental ---

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine

You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine...
