Her hair has the color of the golden summer sun Her skin like golden wheat at harvest time Her eyes were as clear as the cool mountrain stream Her lips the shade of cherries at picking time
Her soul was as pure as the Sunday morning silence Her innocence as sweet as a baby's smile And never had the hands of a man caressed her body No evil in this silent world of Golden Girl
I called her Golden Girl because I did not know her name Her lips had never spoke a single word And her ears had never heard the sounds of the outside world And the love words that I spoke she never heard
She could not hear nor speak but her eyes would question me She did not understand my needs as I would hold her But there was no way I could take any of the good From the untouched silent world of Golden Girl
Though I wanted her so much I could not bring myself to touch The sacred innocence of one so pure So I left her where I found her in the silence that surrounds her Twas better to have left her than to take her I am sure And I strayed for a while in the silent world of Golden Girl
