Golden, golden, child of mine A touch of green, feathers fine Rare is the notion, sweet is the potion Bird of youth, teach her to fly One foot in front of the other, that's right She might slip, but she's reaching for the light... Golden, golden, blue eyed girl Your mama's touch in a wild world I'm taking note of what's taking place She's learning how to shine each and every day One foot in front of the other I'll be right here, if there's too much ground to cover... And the leaves... fall all around her And the trees... tower above her With wisdom in their stare And flowers in her hair Always golden ♪ One foot in front of the other, that's right She might sleep, but she's reaching for the light... And the leaves... fall all around her And the trees... tower above her With wisdom in their stare And flowers in her hair Always golden Forever golden
