It was golden looking back
Some kind of heaven in my hands
For so long
I was busy making plans
Couldn't see the things I had
'Til they were all gone

Well so much has passed me by
And I didn't realize

So try 'til your dying breath
To hold on to happiness
'Cause life's just a moment
And one day it's over
And it's cruel how the time can pass
The deepest rivers move so fast
And life's just a moment
So know when it's golden and

Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on to happiness
Hold on, hold on, hold on

Well, I miss talking late at night
Getting drunk on cheap red wine
Yeah, we were so close
So now I'm trying not to waste
The untamed seconds of the day
'Cause I know

That so much can pass you by
You don't even realize

So try 'til your dying breath
To hold on to happiness
'Cause life's just a moment
And one day it's over
And it's cruel how the time can pass
The deepest rivers move so fast
And life's just a moment
So know when it's golden and

Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on to happiness
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on to happiness

And treasure it while it lasts
'Cause you'll never get it back
Never get it back, no, no
And regrets can hurt the most
And when you got it, don't let go
Don't let go

Just try 'til your dying breath
To hold on to happiness
'Cause life's just a moment
And one day it's over
And it's cruel how the time can pass
The deepest rivers move so fast
And life's just a moment
So know when it's golden and

Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on to happiness
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on to happiness
Hold on to happiness
