Stay Gold lyrics
Stay Gold
[JOHNNY]
I have had
Some time for thinking
Swore I wasn't ready to die, turns out I was wrong
It might sound crazy
But hear me out
It may take me to the grave, but I know what your poem's about
I have seen a pool of blood run crimson red
And I've seen the sunrise coming overhead
Finding beauty in the fold
It's the only way to keep from growing old
My friend, stay gold
When you're young
And the world is new
It's easy to forget when you're trying just to make it through
Like the morning light
And the dawn it brings
You see the world, finding beauty in the simple things
I have looked into a thankful father's eyes
Telling me I've saved his daughter's life
I'd do it all again
'Cause I've found the beauty in the fold
My friend, stay gold
[JOHNNY & PONYBOY]
Looking back
At the life I've had
I hold on to the good, 'cause I've made my peace with all the bad
Sixteen years
Look at all we've done
Wouldn't trade it for the world, can't you see that we're the lucky ones
I have known a love that many never know
And our love lives on no matter where I go
We all will meet our end
No matter if we meet it young or old
My friend, stay gold
[JOHNNY, spoken]
There's still a lot of time to make yourself what you want, Ponyboy. There's still a whole lotta good in the world. Tell Dally, I don't think he knows
[JOHNNY & PONYBOY, sung]
Finding beauty in the fold
It's the only way to keep from growing old
My friend, stay gold
[PONYBOY]
My friend, stay gold
