I see it in your eyes
Like you're looking for a window
For the wide open skies
Wondering: Where do I begin though?
If you knew how bright you shined
Do you think it might change your mind?
The clouds are on fire
And they're telling you something that they know

You shine like gold
You shine like gold

Remember what you said
When we drove all night from memphis?
That the headlights of your eyes
Were running from the tempest
Then the dawn broke through the black
We were laughing, looking back
No matter how dark
The morning comes up relentless

You shine like gold
You shine like gold
And your soul was born to shine
Like a spark
In the night
And the dark can't hide your glow

When the thoughts, in your mind, are like thieves
And they take you places
Where love is hard, to believe
And the air gets thin
And lungs find it harder to breathe
Remember what you know

You shine like gold

You shine like gold
And your soul was born to shine
Like a spark
In the night
And the dark can't hide your glow
