Stay Gold Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hair on my head, head on my shoulders
Winter was cold but, baby, summer was colder
Summer was colder
Baby, love, don't forsake me

[Verse 2]
So I took it all in, I blew it all out
On my way to my daddy’s, had my head in the clouds
But baby, summer gets colder, yeah
Baby, love, don't forsake me

[Chorus]
'Cause it gets cold (Don’t keep me holdin' on)
And you know you gotta stay gold (Stay 'til the love is gone)
Stay gold
I need a love to hold on (Don't keep me holdin' on)
And help me stay gold with you
Fire

[Verse 3]
So I took it all in, I blew it all out
On my way to my daddy's, had my head in the clouds
But baby, summer gets colder
Baby, love, don't forsake me
[Chorus]
'Cause it gets cold (Don’t keep me holdin’ on)
And you know you gotta stay gold (Stay 'til the love is gone)
Stay gold
I need a love to hold on (Don’t keep me holdin' on)
And help me stay gold with you
Fire

[Verse 4]
So I went to my sister's, she said, "Hey, little brother
Some of us, baby, are like foxes and dragons"
I said, "Summer gets colder"
Baby, love, don't forsake me

[Chorus]
’Cause it gets cold (Don't keep me holdin' on)
And you know you gotta stay gold (Stay 'til the love is gone)
Stay gold
I need a love to hold on (Don't keep me holdin' on)
And help me stay gold with you
Fire

[Outro]
Help me stay gold
(Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold)
When it's too cold
(Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold)
Help me stay gold, staying gold
(Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold)
Keep the light on
(Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold)
Help me stay gold
(Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold)
May the fire burn
(Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold)
Help me stay gold, staying gold
(Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold)
'Til the song is done
(Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold)
I'm staying gold

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
