I see it in your eyes like you're looking for a window,
For the wide open skies wondering "where do I begin, though?"
If you knew how bright you shined
Do you think it might change your mind?
The clouds are on fire and they're telling you something that they know
.
You shine like gold
You shine like gold
.
Remember what you said when we drove all night from Memphis?
That the headlights of your eyes were running from the tempest
Then the dawn broke through the black
And we were laughing, looking back
No matter how dark the morning comes up relentless
.
You shine like gold
You shine like gold
And your soul was born to shine
Like a spark in the night
And the dark can't hide your glow
.
When the thoughts in your mind
Are like thieves
And they take you places
Where love is hard to believe
And the air gets thin
And lungs find it harder to breathe
Remember what you know
.
You shine like gold
