I grew up in faded gingham
Where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satin
Where loves a passing game
I know now you never loved me
Oh, I know I was just a fool
To think your pride would let you
Play love by the Golden Rule
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You cant buy my love with money cause I aint never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
I dont want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
All I wants the love youve promised once beneath that haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
Sit alone and hide my sorrows while you play loves cheatin game
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You cant buy my love with money cause I aint 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 drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You cant buy my love with money cause I aint never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Ah, thank you
