Gold Light Gathering (Version 2)

Verse

The last leaf drops off the tree

I watch it twirl on past me

Dancing slow like I should be

Gold in your hair as you step out of the shade

Fading light on a street that's empty and gray

But your smile makes all the colors stay

Every window here looks just the same

Except for one with your name on the pane

The clock up high starts to hum a low note

It says it's dark, but I don't think so

Your eyes keep shining like gold in the sun

And I'm the only one who's had fun

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this street looks different tonight

Is it just me or do you feel the light?

Chorus

Every step that we take feels like a chance to start anew

A little closer now, my heart can see what's true

Golden hour and your hand in mine

I'll never lose this feeling again

We're writing our own golden line

Verse 2

Your boots leave prints on the pavement cold

Each one makes me feel younger than I'm told

The houses around us are dark and still

But I swear they're holding onto every thrill

You take my hand when the clock strikes nine

And we walk into this amber light that's mine

Every stranger passing by gives a nod or two

I know it's just courtesy, but with you, it feels like true love

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this street looks different tonight

Is it just me or do you feel the light?

Chorus

Every step that we take feels like a chance to start anew

A little closer now, my heart can see what's true

Golden hour and your hand in mine

I'll never lose this feeling again

We're writing our own golden line

Bridge

Let's make every shadow hold its breath

Let's turn the streetlights into lanterns of gold instead

No more counting down till the morning comes

I want to stay here forever, right where I am with you

Chorus

Every step that we take feels like a chance to start anew

A little closer now, my heart can see what's true

Golden hour and your hand in mine

I'll never lose this feeling again

We're writing our own golden line
