Golden Haired Girl • Erren Kelly

dancing with you golden-haired girl
is holding a translucent light
looking into your eyes, i see texas skies

i hear the song only angels know
in your drawl, it sounds just right
better than a mockingbird, my golden-haired girl

you hold a stethescope, like a violin
i hold you like my own heart, just right
until you become a dream, my golden haired girl

to know you is to know a blessing
you are a beacon and a delight
my golden-haired girl
we become reborn in safffron skies
