I've still got a letter in my dresser drawer
That you sent to me, I don't remember what for
But I kept it
I kept it, darlin
Every once in a while when I think about us
I reminisce on just how beautiful it was
Then how we left it
I never meant it, darlin
The past is the past
We were fading fast
We just weren't built to last
But our love was sacred
Every moment etched in gold
That's the way we made it
Then carved it into stone
And with relics of old
It's in a tomb dark and cold
But we were sacred, baby
We were sacred, baby
This love
Had the Midas touch
When I watch the sun in Oklahoma skies
I get taken back and think of your eyes
They're hazel
You still look like an angel, darlin
And I think about summer all those years
Back before the fights, back before the tears
We were fragile
And that was fatal, darlin
When I'm on your radio, someday
You'll sing along I hope
'Cause I know that you know
That our love was sacred
Every moment etched in gold
That's the way we made it
Then carved it into stone
And with relics of old
It's in a tomb dark and cold
But we were sacred, baby
We were sacred, baby
This love
Had the Midas touch
When we were fallin' in love
I wanted you so much it hurt
But everyone knows
That Midas died all alone
For what it's worth
He touched the fire, he got burned
We touched the fire, and we got burned
Every moment etched in gold
That's the way we made it
Then carved it into stone
And with relics of old
It's in a tomb dark and cold
But we were sacred, baby
We were sacred, baby
This love
Had the Midas touch
Uh oh
This love
Could rise from the dust
Darlin
This love
Was the Holy Grail to us
