Gold Lyrics
Stand on up and take a bow
There's something there and it's showing
There's no need to look around
You're the best we got going
Shout out to the dreams you'll chase
Shout out to the hearts you'll break
Nothing's gonna stop you now
I guess you'd better be going
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never be far, I'm keeping you near
Inside of my heart, you're here
Go on
It's gotta be time
You're starting to shine
'Cause what you've got is
[Chorus]
Go-o-o-o o-o o-o-old
I know you're gold
O-o-o-o o-o o-oh oh
I know I know
I don't need the stars in the night
I've found my treasure
All I need is you by my side
So shine forever
Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-old
I know you're gold
O-o-o-o o-o o-oh oh
I know you're gold
It won't take you long to get
When you feel like you're soaring
So write it all and don't forget
You gotta tell us your story
Shout out to the friends back home
Shout out to the hearts you've known
You gave 'em nothing but the best, yeah
And you can tell 'em your story
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll never be far, I'm keeping you near
Inside of my heart, you're here
Go on
It's gotta be time
You're starting to shine
'Cause what you've got is
[Chorus]
Go-o-o-o o-o o-o-old
I know you're gold
O-o-o-o o-o o-oh oh
I know I know
I don't need the stars in the night
I've found my treasure
All I need is you by my side
So shine forever
Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-old
I know you're gold
O-o-o-o o-o o-oh oh
I know you're gold
'Cause what you have got is
[Chorus]
Go-o-o-o o-o o-o-old
I know you're gold
O-o-o-o o-o o-oh oh
I know I know
I don't need stars in the night
I've found my treasure
All I need is you by my side
So shine forever
Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-old
I know you're gold
O-o-o-o o-o o-oh oh
I know you're gold
[Outro]
You're gold
You're gold

According to Songfacts, Young explained to Billboard magazine:
This was sort of taking a flying leap on that way. I was a little bit scared at first because of all the co-writing and allowing other people to co-pilot this project, but listening back, as I live with it, I’m really excited about it. It was really fun to be able to bounce ideas off somebody else, and there was always this great magic in the room when there was somebody else right there with you to work on things."
