Look for the silver lining
When'eer the clouds appear in the blue
You know that somewhere
The sun is shining
And so the right thing to do
Is make it shine for you
A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life

(Kern/deSylva, famously sung by Judy Garland in "Till The Clouds Roll By")

He did the old soft shoe

of the silvery moon

And as I was searching from bottle to bottle
For something unfoolish to say
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows
And smilingly stole her away

Don't sing love songs you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride

I'd give all that I own
If I could but atone

and I dare not drown my sorrows
in the warm glow of your wine...

Got no silver
Got no gold
What I got can't be bought or sold
I got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night

Mansions I can wish you
Seven footmen, all in red
And calling cards upon a silver tray
But more I cannot wish you
Than to wish you find your love
Your own true love this day.

We meet and the angels sing
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard
[snip]
Suddenly the setting is strange
I can see water and moonlight beaming
Silver waves that break
On some undiscovered shore

(Elman/Mercer, "And the Angels Sing")

Did you bring a little gold?

To keep me from the gallows pole

All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back

Til now your shine
Was merely silver
Friends....you shall drip rubies
You will drip precious rubies
