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
