| [00:06.87] |
Oh, the night is growing colder, |
| [00:10.77] |
And the stars have lost their shine. |
| [00:15.98] |
And I have been forsaken, |
| [00:20.11] |
By everything I thought was mine. |
| [00:25.39] |
For in the darkest hour, |
| [00:29.45] |
When the final story's told, |
| [00:34.40] |
No matter how bright I glittered, baby, |
| [00:39.90] |
I could never be gold. |
| [00:46.11] |
You gave up your finest treasure, |
| [00:51.19] |
For the one you saw in me. |
| [00:53.31] |
|
| [00:55.13] |
But how could I know the measure, |
| [00:58.50] |
|
| [00:59.50] |
Of all you needed me to be. |
| [01:02.37] |
|
| [01:04.75] |
Though I came with sweet intentions, |
| [01:09.82] |
More my pockets could not hold. |
| [01:14.63] |
No matter how bright I glittered, baby, |
| [01:20.50] |
I could never be gold. |
| [01:23.69] |
|
| [01:26.38] |
I finally gave up counting, |
| [01:30.25] |
The ways you said I let you down. |
| [01:35.38] |
When I fell into that river of no return, |
| [01:41.32] |
And you watched me drown. |
| [01:47.25] |
Oh I could sparkle like a diamond, |
| [01:52.69] |
Have silver line my soul. |
| [01:56.51] |
But no matter how I glittered, baby, |
| [02:02.50] |
I could never be gold. |
| [02:08.00] |
|
| [02:29.94] |
You looked so high and low for heaven, |
| [02:34.51] |
I tried so hard to show the way. |
| [02:38.63] |
But though I flew on wings of angels, |
| [02:42.82] |
My feet were always made of clay. |
| [02:46.44] |
|
| [02:50.13] |
I could come trailing clouds of glory, |
| [02:54.82] |
But you saw nothing to behold. |
| [03:00.82] |
No matter how bright I glittered, baby |
| [03:06.01] |
I could never be gold. |
| [03:10.26] |
|
| [03:11.94] |
No matter how bright I glittered, baby, |
| [03:16.88] |
|
| [03:17.44] |
I could never be gold. |
