Weight in Gold

At the ending of a high school date
Parked out in front of my parent's place
I told him his blue eyes were marvelous
He said he didn't care for brown eyes much

Words are worth their weight in gold
They can honor you like a glittering crown
Or like an anchor they can drag you down
Words are worth their weight in gold

When I told my mom
She almost cried
She said, "It's all my fault
I've always loved your father's eyes
And I asked that God would hand them down
So I see the beauty of an answered prayer in your eyes now"

Words are worth their weight in gold
They can honor you like a glittering crown
Or like an anchor they can drag you down
Words are worth their weight in gold

It can be a harsh word
That sends you to your dark night
Or it can be a kind one
That finds you when your dreams die

I was singing to myself one night
My voice dropped to a whisper when a friend walked by
He said, "Please don't stop. I'd pay to hear you sing"
Those simple words became a seed that slowly grew into a dream

Words are worth their weight in gold
They can honor you like a glittering crown
Or like an anchor they can drag you down
Words are worth their weight in gold
(Words are worth their weight)
