The Isley Brothers - Stay Gold lyrics

Think upon that moment long ago
One breath away and there you will be
So young and carefree again you will see
That place in time, so gold

Steal away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather nothing can ever
And be in time, stay gold

But can it be when we can see
So vividly a memory?
And, yes, you will say so must the day
Too fade away and leave a ray
Of sun so gold

Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
Though not imagined all things that happen
Will age too old, though gold though
Though gold

Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
Though not imagined
All things, all things that happen
Will age too old, though gold though
Though gold

Stay gold stay gold
