Weight in Gold

At the ending of a high school date\nParked out in front of my parent’s place\nI told him his blue eyes were marvelous\nHe said he didn’t care for brown eyes much\nWords are worth their weight in gold\nThey can honor you like glittering crown\nOr like an anchor they can drag you down\nWords are worth their weight in gold\nWhen I told my mom\nShe almost cried\nShe said, «It's all my fault\nI always loved your father’s eyes\nAnd I asked that God would hand them down\nSo I see the beauty of an answered prayer in your eyes now»\nWords are worth their weight in gold\nThey can honor you like glittering crown\nOr like an anchor they can drag you down\nWords are worth their weight in gold\nIt can be a harsh word\nThat sends you to your dark night\nOr it can be a kind one\nThat finds you when your dreams die\nI was singing to myself one night\nMy voice dropped to a whisper when a friend walked by\nHe said, «Please don’t stop. I’d pay to hear you sing»\nThose simple words became a seed that slowly grew into a dream\nWords are worth their weight in gold\nThey can honor you like glittering crown\nOr like an anchor they can drag you down\nWords are worth their weight in gold
