"Nothing Gold Can Stay" lyrics

I close my eyes
And I'm there in my mind
In the old house, my life
And I miss what it used to feel like
Before I knew
That a heart could be broken in two
Good memories painted blue

And I'd do anything
To go back one more time
To feel like that again
The truth is it'll
Never be the same
Oh, every sunset eventually fades away
But night turns into day
And letting go is a beautiful price to pay
Cause nothing gold can stay
Oh, nothing gold can stay
But we're here now

I try to keep you close to me
Time slows the faster it goes
I learn the hard way I know
Cause you never know the last time, is the last time
Not until it's in the past, like, in hindsight
Til you're staring at the night sky, the night sky

And I'd do anything
To go back one more time
To feel like that again
The truth is it'll
Never be the same
Oh, every sunset eventually fades away
But night turns into day
And letting go is a beautiful price to pay
Cause nothing gold can stay

Hold me, Hold tight
Sing it like it's our last song, last night
Know we only got one life
(Know we only got one life, know we only got one life)

Nothing gold can stay

Hold me, Hold tight
Sing it like it's our last song, last night
Know we only got one life
(Know we only got one life)

Cause nothing gold can stay
Ohh, nothing gold can stay
But we're here now, ohh
