Good as GoldWe were on the beach in Waikikitill we flew home on that alarm clockand I rolled over and pounded the snoozethen I wondered how we'll do this winteron our new dresser from Rent-a-Centerwas a mortage that's a month past duethen through the curtains shined a gilded rayand it proved the rise of a priceless daywas as good as gold, as good as golda sight for the heart to beholdcos when emptiness fills the souland tomorrow looks as black as coalwell then my friend, faith is as good as goldwell, the clouds had been on strike all summerand I almost broke it to our scarecrowI was gonna feed him to our old horsethen I saw my wife's hair smooth n yellowlike a pot of treaure on the pillowand somehow my future don't feel so poorthough love won't buy as much as a dusty dimethrough the shadows of doubt it always shinesas good as gold, as good as golda sight for the heart to beholdcos when emptiness fills the souland tomorrow looks as black as coalwell then my friend, love is as good as goldthough love won't buy as much as a dusty dimethrough the shadows of doubt it always shinesas good as gold, as good as gold...(c)2007 Robert George
