Golden Years

We never know how good it was until our time runs out
Longing for this perfect moment long ago
Would you believe me if I told you now
that this feels almost good to be true.
Summer nights, morning lights
fading in and fading out
They sweep away without a sound
I hope we realize
In fifty years or so
When we’re grey and old
That these were our golden years
Let’s keep this moment in our heart
Life’s one hell of a ride
And these are the golden years
These are the golden years
And there will be the day when we will miss this all
The day when all this glitter turns to dust.
Fearsly looking if there’s more to come
Keep the sparkle growing deep inside of us
Getting close for the parts
Moving in and moving out
we sweep away without a sound
I hope we realize
In fifty years or so
When we’re grey and old
These were our golden years
Let’s keep this moment in our heart (?)
Life’s one hell of a ride
And these are the golden years
These are the golden years
Paint me black, paint me white
Take me in, take me out
Raise your bets, do or die
No regrets, it’s your life
We sweep away without a souhnd
… without a sound
(These are the golden years)
And we realize
In fifty years or so
When we’re grey and old
That these were our golden years
Let’s keep this moment in our heart
Life’s one hell of a ride
And these are the golden years
These are the golden years
(These are the golden years)
(These are the golden years)
These are the golden years.
