Verse 1
Silver and gold, silver and gold

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 every Christmas tree

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
