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
