Music and Lyrics: Reynolds/Rhodes
I grew up in ragged gingham where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satins where love's just a passing game
I know you've never loved me, oh I know I's just a fool
To think your pride would let you live love by the golden rule
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, 'cause I ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
I don't want your lonely mansions, with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised once beneath the haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
Sit alone and bide my sorrows while you play love's cheating game
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, 'cause I ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, 'cause I ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
I grew up in ragged gingham where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satins where love's just a passing game
I know you've never loved me, oh I know I's just a fool
To think your pride would let you live love by the golden rule
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, 'cause I ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
I don't want your lonely mansions, with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised once beneath the haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
Sit alone and bide my sorrows while you play love's cheating game
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, 'cause I ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, 'cause I ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
