Stay Gold

Seize 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 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

Oh gold
