Suzanne Vega - Golden lyrics

In my heart's currency you are golden You are shining like a sun upon a cold grey sea Here's what I do not know How I come to love you so And in time I'll be worth to it Once your words they fell like pennies on the sidewalk And they shone for everyone but they did not for me Pennies disappear I still hold you dear Golden what's you came to be You couldn't know What I wouldn't show How you brought to me a deeper kind of pleasure It moves sweet glow of light is the meaning of delight And you came to be my treasure without measure In my heart's currency you are golden And you sparkle like the foam upon a cold grey sea Troubles disappear I still hold you here Golden's what you are to me You are golden Shining like the sun You are golden Yes, golden's what you are to me
