美國豔麗歌姬［凡妮莎威廉絲］──輕爵士／成人抒情／聖誕歌曲──［Silver & Gold／銀與金］

Silver, silver and gold

Silver and gold, silver and gold

Everyone 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 every Christmas tree.

Silver, silver and gold

Silver, silver and gold

Silver and gold

Silver and gold

Silver and gold

Wise men brought gifts to the mange Im told

Mary was humble to see

Shepherds and kings there on bended knees

Its silver and gold, silver and gold

Feeling the world with their lives

Silver and gold how they shimmer on every Christmas night

On every Christmas night

Silver, silver and gold
