lyrics
Pure as Gold
(Spain)
Find yourself a gamblin’ man or find yourself a gun
Either way you’ll find yourself as lonesome as they come
Put on pretty dresses, baby, put on diamond rings
Find out on your wedding day they just don’t mean a thing
Love is something made to last
If it’s as pure as gold
It don’t matter what you have
‘Cos love cannot be sold
When your heart’s a buried treasure men will seek its worth
Give yourself to those who know the value of your birth
Halls are filled with love’s disasters
Victims all in line
Hearts once full now crack like plaster
Blood now spilt like wine
Love is something made to last
If it’s as pure as gold
It don’t matter what you have
‘Cos love cannot be sold
Find yourself a preacher man or find yourself a judge
If you wait too late for love,
Your heart will hold a grudge
If you wait too late for love,
Your heart will hold a grudge
(Spain)
Find yourself a gamblin’ man or find yourself a gun
Either way you’ll find yourself as lonesome as they come
Put on pretty dresses, baby, put on diamond rings
Find out on your wedding day they just don’t mean a thing
Love is something made to last
If it’s as pure as gold
It don’t matter what you have
‘Cos love cannot be sold
When your heart’s a buried treasure men will seek its worth
Give yourself to those who know the value of your birth
Halls are filled with love’s disasters
Victims all in line
Hearts once full now crack like plaster
Blood now spilt like wine
Love is something made to last
If it’s as pure as gold
It don’t matter what you have
‘Cos love cannot be sold
Find yourself a preacher man or find yourself a judge
If you wait too late for love,
Your heart will hold a grudge
If you wait too late for love,
Your heart will hold a grudge
