I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room I just want 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
Chorus 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
I grew up in faded gingham,where love's a sacred thing You grew up in silk and satin,where love's a passing game I know now you never loved me and I know I was a fool To think your pride would let you,live by the golden rule
