Andrew Combs - Golden lyrics

Golden, golden, child of mine
A touch of green, feathers fine
Rare is the notion, sweet is the potion
Bird of youth, teach her to fly

One foot in front of the other, that's right
She might slip
But she's reaching for the light

Golden, golden, blue eyed girl
Your mama's touch in a wild world
I'm taking note of what's taking place
She's learning how to shine
Each and every day

One foot in front of the other
I'll be right here
If there's too much ground to cover

And the leaves fall all around her
And the trees tower above her
With wisdom in their stare
And flowers in her hair always golden

One foot in front of the other, that's right
She might sleep
But she's reaching for the light

And the leaves fall all around her
And the trees tower above her
With wisdom in their stare
And flowers in her hair always golden
Forever golden
