[Verse 1]
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Everyone wishes for silver and gold
How do you measure its worth?
Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth
[Verse 2]
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Mean so much more when I see
Silver and gold decorations
On every Christmas tree
[Verse 3]
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Horses and yo-yos and wishing for snow
What could compare to their worth?
There is no treasure like them here on earth
[Verse 4]
They're young, then their old, before you know
They'll have their own family
The days, they won't last forever
They're silver and gold to me
[Verse 5]
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Parties and presents, kisses and toes
What could compare to their worth?
All of the people we love here on earth
[Outro]
They come and they go, friends that you know
So hold them in your memories
All precious gifts of the Giver
Are silver and gold to me
