GOLD IS YOUR COLOUR.
v
One day for one of us
we'll only have memories
Snapshots of the past we left
yellowed like the autumn leaves
v
Summers day when we met
gold sun in a cloudless sky
That bright shimmering stream
ran pale to your beautiful blue eyes
c
And if you go and I stay
don't want to watch you fade away
So gold is your colour
how i'll think of you each day
v
If I leave before you
even fading in your dreams
When you awake from your sleep
recall that soft blue flowing stream
b
Who knows if we'll find each other
was it a journey come to it's end?
But if our lives were simply stepping stones-
I'd want to follow them
in search of gold,wherever the road bends
c
And if you go and I stay
don't want to watch you fade away
So gold is your colour
how i'll think of you each day
---------------------------------------------------------------

GOLD IS YOUR COLOUR.
One day for one of us
we'll only have memories
Snapshots of the past we left
yellowed like an old book leaf
And if you go and I stay
don't want to watch you fade away
So gold is your colour
how i'll think of you each day
If I leave before you
even fading in your dreams
When you awake from your sleep
recall that soft blue flowing stream
Where we first met on that summers day
gold sun glittered in a cloudless sky
That bright shimmering stream
ran pale to your beautiful blue eyes
And if you go and I stay
don't want to watch you fade away
So gold is your colour
how i'll think of you each day

Hi Travis,
Very sweet sentiment!
It seems like the verse 3 should be verse 2 and then the chorus.
That way, the gold is explained more? It's a leap to go from the yellowed leaf to gold being her color, I think.
I wonder if, instead of an old book leaf, you could bring up the yellow in the leaves of autumn? Just thinking...
Lisa

It's sweet, but the sad part is that even couples who stay together 60 or 70 years eventually part. One will leave the other.

I agree with all that's said.
Lisa got it right about the verse change.

That third verse was the bridge, but I think your changes are better Lisa, with the odd adjustment
Cheers
