Back When We Were Gold

Verse 1 :

I found a picture in a drawer today,

Faded edges, but the smile stayed.

We were young, we had no clue,

But somehow everything felt true.

The sun would set, and we'd still laugh,

No worry 'bout the aftermath.

Just chasing dreams and open skies,

With stars reflected in our eyes.

Chorus :

Oh, I miss the days, the sweet unknown,

The voices that felt like home.

Running barefoot through the rain,

Hearts unbroken, free from pain.

We were wild, we were bold,

Back when we were gold.

Back when time moved slow,

And we didn’t know what we didn’t know.

Verse 2 :

Now the silence fills the space,

Where echoes used to have your face.

I pass the street where we would sing,

And it still hurts remembering.

The world has changed, and so have I,

But I still chase that summer sky.

I’d give it all just to relive,

A moment we forgot to give.

Chorus :

Oh, I miss the days, the sweet unknown,

The voices that felt like home.

Running barefoot through the rain,

Hearts unbroken, free from pain.

We were wild, we were bold,

Back when we were gold.

Back when time moved slow,

And we didn’t know what we didn’t know.

Bridge :

I close my eyes, I hear the sound—

Of laughter echoing all around.

No fear, no fight, no weight to hold…

Just stories written in marigold.

Final Chorus :

Oh, I miss the days, the sweet unknown,

The careless ways we called our own.

Dancing shadows on the wall,

Believing love would never fall.

We were wild, we were bold,

Back when we were gold.

Back when time moved slow,

And we didn’t know what we didn’t know.

Outro

I keep those moments close and tight,

Like stars I visit every night.

And though I’ve grown, my heart still knows…

The best of me was long ago.

Back when we were gold.
