Grace Petrie - The Golden Record lyrics
[Grace Petrie - The Golden Record lyrics]
If I could take down every
Inch of you in gold
Engrave it in the metal of my soul
And send it out to worlds beyond those known
To find a cosmic gramophone
No listener would ever understand
The lightning bolts between two
Grains of sand
Some people never witness shooting stars
Most never know a love like ours
And I didn't know my heart was closed
Until you came to unlock it
Yeah, you found the perfect song
And I couldn't stop it not for anyone
So send it in a rocket
Yeah, to play after I'm gone
You're the plug that fit's my socket
All the lights came on
If I could reach beyond the
Stars that we can see
To sing for them a song of you and me
No amount of any greatest hit's
Could explain the way it fit's
If I could bottle every beat
My heart has missed
Or the trembling in my hands
When we first kissed
How time and space and sense and circumstance
Were gone when we began to dance
And I didn't know my heart was closed
Until you came to unlock it
Yeah, you found the perfect song
And I couldn't stop it not for anyone
So send it in a rocket
Yeah, to play after I'm gone
You're the plug that fit's my socket
All the lights came on
You're the plug that fit's my socket
All the lights came on
You're the plug that fit's my socket
And all my lights came on
Inch of you in gold
Engrave it in the metal of my soul
And send it out to worlds beyond those known
To find a cosmic gramophone
No listener would ever understand
The lightning bolts between two
Grains of sand
Some people never witness shooting stars
Most never know a love like ours
And I didn't know my heart was closed
Until you came to unlock it
Yeah, you found the perfect song
And I couldn't stop it not for anyone
So send it in a rocket
Yeah, to play after I'm gone
You're the plug that fit's my socket
All the lights came on
If I could reach beyond the
Stars that we can see
To sing for them a song of you and me
No amount of any greatest hit's
Could explain the way it fit's
If I could bottle every beat
My heart has missed
Or the trembling in my hands
When we first kissed
How time and space and sense and circumstance
Were gone when we began to dance
And I didn't know my heart was closed
Until you came to unlock it
Yeah, you found the perfect song
And I couldn't stop it not for anyone
So send it in a rocket
Yeah, to play after I'm gone
You're the plug that fit's my socket
All the lights came on
You're the plug that fit's my socket
All the lights came on
You're the plug that fit's my socket
And all my lights came on
