VERSE 1 The sun clocks out an hour too soon, Four o'clock skies turning to gold. Leaves let go beneath the same old moon, And I'm right here, watching it unfold. PRE-CHORUS Nothing gold was made to stay, So I'm holding on to today. CHORUS Golden hours, sun goes down at five, Golden hours, keep me alive. Leaves catch fire, the sky turns slow, You're right here — that's all I need to know. VERSE 2 There's something about this October light, It makes the kitchen glow like gold. You're pouring coffee before goodnight, And I don't want this moment to grow old. PRE-CHORUS (same as above) CHORUS (same as above) VERSE 3 The kids are bundled up in sweaters now, This table feels a little more like home. Something shifts in a family when the leaves fall down, And I don't want to leave this golden hour alone. PRE-CHORUS (same as above) CHORUS (same as above) BRIDGE You can't hold on to golden hours, They slip like leaves you meant to keep. So put the phone down, pull your chair in, Stay awake while the light runs deep. FINAL CHORUS (same as above) TAG The light is going gold, And you are right here, Not missing a single minute— Golden hours with you.
