Golden Sunsets of Fall

Broadway folk-pop, hopeful lyrical, piano only

VERSE 2 There's something about this October light It makes the kitchen glow like gold You're pouring coffee before goodnight And the clouds outside are doing what the leaves do Every red and amber, rust and bold Reflected back like the sky learned from the maples And I don't want this moment to grow old

PRE-CHORUS Nothing gold was made to stay So I'm holding on to today Holding on to you

CHORUS Golden hours, sun goes down at five Golden hours, keep me alive Leaves catch fire and the clouds go slow Big October sky all burning gold You're right here and that's all I need to know Golden hours with you

VERSE 3 The kids are bundled up in sweaters now The table feels a little more like home Something shifts in a family when the leaves fall down And the whole sky turns the color of a pumpkin And the light comes in like something to be known I look outside and I am undone by it I don't want to leave this golden hour alone

(pre-chorus) Nothing gold was made to stay So I'm holding on to today Holding on to you

(chorus) Golden hours, sun goes down at five Golden hours, keep me alive Leaves catch fire and the clouds go slow Big October sky all burning gold You're right here and that's all I need to know Golden hours with you

BRIDGE You can't hold on to golden hours They slip like leaves you meant to keep The clouds will move and take the color with them And the sky will trade its fire for sleep So put the phone down, pull your chair in Let the whole horizon do its thing Stay awake while the light runs deep Stay here with me

FINAL CHORUS Golden hours, sun goes down at five Golden hours, keep me alive Leaves catch fire and the clouds go slow Big October sky all burning gold You're right here and that's all I need to know

TAG The light is going gold The clouds are going quiet And you are right here Not missing a single minute Golden hours with you

VERSE 1 The sun clocks out an hour too soon Four o'clock skies turning to gold The clouds are wearing pumpkin and fire Every color the trees have ever told Leaves let go beneath the painted sky And I'm right here watching it unfold The whole horizon burning like October More beautiful than anything I've known VERSE 2 There's something about this October light It makes the kitchen glow like gold You're pouring coffee before goodnight And the clouds outside are doing what the leaves do Every red and amber, rust and bold Reflected back like the sky learned from the maples And I don't want this moment to grow old PRE-CHORUS Nothing gold was made to stay So I'm holding on to today Holding on to you CHORUS Golden hours, sun goes down at five Golden hours, keep me alive Leaves catch fire and the clouds go slow Big October sky all burning gold You're right here and that's all I need to know Golden hours with you VERSE 3 The kids are bundled up in sweaters now The table feels a little more like home Something shifts in a family when the leaves fall down And the whole sky turns the color of a pumpkin And the light comes in like something to be known I look outside and I am undone by it I don't want to leave this golden hour alone (pre-chorus) Nothing gold was made to stay So I'm holding on to today Holding on to you (chorus) Golden hours, sun goes down at five Golden hours, keep me alive Leaves catch fire and the clouds go slow Big October sky all burning gold You're right here and that's all I need to know Golden hours with you BRIDGE You can't hold on to golden hours They slip like leaves you meant to keep The clouds will move and take the color with them And the sky will trade its fire for sleep So put the phone down, pull your chair in Let the whole horizon do its thing Stay awake while the light runs deep Stay here with me FINAL CHORUS Golden hours, sun goes down at five Golden hours, keep me alive Leaves catch fire and the clouds go slow Big October sky all burning gold You're right here and that's all I need to know TAG The light is going gold The clouds are going quiet And you are right here Not missing a single minute Golden hours with you
