You have been the one I could confide in
When troubles seem to find its path to me
My sadness seem to lie somewhere within me
'Til you come on and push it out of me

I can write your name in gold
And place you high above
The people that say we cannot be in love

But then I ask myself this question
Should I feel about you in this way?
My future relies on my decision
And my decision can be no other way

May I write your name in gold
And love you more and more?
As days go by, we can have them no more

Girl, I'm so afraid
Love cannot be made from a wish that is made
I will write your name in gold

Got a picture in my heart that's hangin' on my mind
And you can take it down
If you wanna run around

No excuse can change the way that I feel for you
Got a feelin' in my soul
When I write your name in gold
