Stay Gold

The sun shone high those few summer days

Left us in a soft, wide-eyed haze

It shone like gold

It shone like gold

But just as the moon, it shines straight

So dawn goes down today

No gold can stay

No gold can stay

What if our hard work ends in despair?

What if the road won't take me there?

Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?

What if I fall and can't bear to get up?

Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

We could stay gold, oh, gold

We're on our way through rugged land

Top of that mountain we wanted to stand

With hearts of gold

With hearts of gold

But there is only forward, no other way

Tomorrow is your hope at the end of the day

And gold turns gray

And gold turns gray

What if our hard work ends in despair?

What if the road won't take me there?

Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?

What if I fall and can't bear to get up?

Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

We could stay gold, oh

All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge

Of memories where I can get back

All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge

Of memories where I can get back to you

What if our hard work ends in despair?

What if the road won't take me there?

Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?

What if I fall and can't bear to get up?

Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

We could stay gold, oh, gold

Could stay gold, gold

Stay gold, oh, gold
