Lyrics
Silver or Gold
A drop of tonic in my Tanqueray
You lift me up and then you fade away
I remember when you were just that woman of mine
A gypsy now, a diva then
Winning songs and fame and conquering men
I want to give you back your peace of mind
Silver or gold
It don?t really last forever
Truth be told
You can lose it all in just one night
Silver of gold
We could waste it all together
I ask you home
You take me in
Tequila shots & rum to soothe our sins
I want to make you happy most of the time
Silver or gold
It don?t really last forever
Truth be told
You can lose it all in just one night
Silver or gold
We could waste it all together
I spilled some salt in your coffee shake
It?s so hard for us to catch a break
We?ve known each other for so many years
Let?s undo the knots and chase away our tears
Silver or gold
It don?t really last forever
Truth be told
You can lose it all in just one night
Silver or gold
We could waste it all together
Would you like to try?
