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
