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
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 was 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
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't 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
Could stay gold
Stay gold
