Artist: Burl Ives   Title: Silver and gold   --------------------------      Silver, silver and gold   Silver and gold, silver and gold   Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold   How do you measure its worth?   Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth.   Silver and gold, silver and gold   Mean so much more when I see   Silver and gold decorations   On ev'ry Christmas tree.      Silver, silver and gold   Silver, silver and gold   Silver and gold      Silver and gold   Silver and gold   Wise men brought gifts to the mange I'm told   Mary was humble to see   Shepherds and kings there on bended knees   It's silver and gold, silver and gold   Feeling the world with their lives   Silver and gold how they shimmer on ev'ry Christmas night   On ev'ry Christmas night      Silver, silver and gold
