Stay Gold


Seize upon the 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 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 to old, though gold
Though gold, though gold
