Lyrics

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Go ahead!

I don't want your golden mansions with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised, beneath the halo moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
