Story behind the song
Janice and Blake wrote the lyrics and I wrote the music. This is one of their favorite songs that we have written together. I think it has a really good story line and a lot of couples can relate to this song.
Lyrics
Verse 1 Watching her sleep here beside me I’m amazed at how far we’ve come From the poorest side of Santa Fe So in love and way too young I saved up my tips from the drive-in To buy her a gold wedding band I couldn’t afford the ring that she wanted So I made a change in my plan Chorus Turquoise and Silver Was all I could give her I wished it was diamonds and gold Turquoise and Silver I promised forever One heart to have and to hold Verse 2 Nothing in our life came easy A furnished room was our home Two jobs and eighty long hours We were barely hangin’ on Working my way up the ladder I never once heard her complain With love and hard work we succeeded But one thing remained just the same Repeat Chorus Bridge On our fifteenth anniversary I promised her a new wedding band She could’ve had any ring that she wanted She smiled and said “You don’t understand” 2nd Chorus Turquoise and Silver Means more now than ever I still don’t need diamonds and gold Turquoise and Silver Will stay on my finger Because it’s the ring that you chose Tag When our hair turns to silver, till the end of forever She’ll wear the ring that I chose
