Nothing Gold Can Stay (c) 2021 John Croizat, Linda Owens, Ed Tree

The sky is dark and gray
Dawn brings us the day
We see the hills turn gold
Nothing gold can stay

Daffodils welcome Spring
The oaks put on their green
Leaves dance with the wind
Til Fall takes them again

Nothing gold can stay
The gifts we have today
Time steals them away
Nothing gold can stay

Was it only yesterday
We watched our children play
How quickly they have grown
Now they’re on their own

Precious as pure gold
The gifts we cannot hold
Time steals them away
Nothing gold can stay

Sunset paints the sky
Day gives way to night
Gold melts into grey
Nothing gold can stay

Precious as pure gold
The gifts we cannot hold
Time steals them away
Nothing gold can stay

Nothing gold can stay
The gifts we have today
Time steals them away
Nothing gold can stay
Nothing gold can stay
