When we hasten
The bones in our skin
It's best to keep close to
The ones we let in
But as we grow older
Our memory fades
From all the beginnings
We have all once made
Stay close, stay close to me
When this all goes
My heart, my heart will sing
Of those who are gold
Stay close, stay close to me
So we grow old
Knowing, showing my friends
Not all souls fold
I would listen
To all of your woes
To live my life by your side
Truth be told
Whenever you need me
I'll be here
Not always by person
But always by ear
Stay close, stay close to me
When this all goes
My heart, my heart will sing
Of those who are gold
Stay close, stay close to me
So we grow old
Knowing, showing my friends
Not all souls fold
