Silver and gold, silver and gold
Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold
How do you measure its worth?
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 ev'ry Christmas tree

    General Comment:Burl is sooooooo long dead and the lyrics can't be displayed? Even when others have covered this song? Geesh! This is one of the best Christmas songs ever written. Ever. And Burl was one of the masters of holiday music. I'm heartbroken. NOT a good way to begin a day. (Man, I have an idea...I'll post the song lyrics to Silver and Gold by one of the artists who covered Burl Ives...and then there shouldn't be a problem:) There are ways around the law:)
