Stay Gold (From The Outsiders Soundtrack)

Seized upon the moment long ago

One breath away and there you will be

So young and carefree

Again you will see

That place in time, so gold

Steal away into that way back when

You thought that all would last forever

But like the weather

Nothing can ever and be in time

Stay gold

But can it be

When we can see

So vividly

A memory

And, yes, you say

So must the day

Too, fade away

And leave a ray of sun

So gold

Life is but a twinkling of an eye

Yet filled with sorrow and compassion

Though not imagined

All things that happen

Will age to old

Though gold, gold, gold, gold, gold
