You look like gold to me

and I'm not too blind to see

you look like gold

you make me wanna sing

with all the joy you bring

you look like gold

like the rays down from the sun

when a new day has just begun

you look like gold

I've been fooled before

but now I know

I've made the mistake in the past

but now I know the difference

from gold and brass

not the kind of gold you wear

but the kind that can feel my care

you look like gold

some shine when the day is new

but fade when the day is through

but you look like gold

I've been wrong before

but now I know

I've made mistakes in the past

but now I know the difference

from gold and brass

you look like gold to me

and I'm down on bending knees

you look like gold

and I just want you to know

to me you mean so much more

than all the gold

you look like gold
