Song title Poor Mans Gold
Artist Elvis Presley
its the feeling that i get holding my brand new baby
holding on to daddys thumb just as tightly as he can hold
and its hearin people say he looks a lot like his daddy
these things are a poor mans gold
its the twinkle in the eyes of the gray haired old man we call grandpa
tellin tales to the kids that get taller every time there told
and its knowin that for a while hes no longer lonely
these things are a poor mans gold
its the smell of honeysuckle in the springtime its the silence of a freshly
fallin snow
its the sound of children laughing in the sunshine
its a crisp autum night with a million stars all aglow
and its the sweet sleepy sound of your warm gentle breathing
as you cling to me in the night to keep away the cold
and its the softness of your body there in the darkness
these things are a poor mans gold
honey theses precious things are a poor mans gold
