Bio

Lyrics

Verse 1:
C
I don’t look for luxury in rings or bracelets,
Am
It isn’t in the things I buy,
C
I won’t find it in diamonds or labels
Am
‘Cos true riches have no price

Chorus:
F G
Gold and silver eventually fades
F G
Like the light at the end of the day
F G
But the love we feel inside,
F C
Is where our true, our true wealth lies

Verse 2:
C
It’s spending time with family and friends,
Am
In moments you wish would never end,
C
It’s knowing that someone truly cares
Am
No fortune or treasure can compare

Chorus:
F G
Gold and silver eventually fades
F G
Like the light at the end of the day
F G
But the love we feel inside,
F C
Is where our true, our true wealth lies


Bridge:
Em F
Being safe in someone’s arms
Em F
Is a feeling money just can’t buy.
Em F
No riches will ever compare
Em F C (sus) Am (sus)
To the comfort of knowing …. you are there


Chorus:
F G
Gold and silver eventually fades
F (g)
Like the light at the end of the day
F G
But the love we feel deep inside,
F G
Is where our true,
F G
Is where our true oooh.
F F C
Is where our true …. our true wealth lies

C
Gold and silver eventually fades
