[Verse 1]
It had been a year since I'd been home
So dad and I took a drive around the farm
We cut some burrs till smoko, made a fire
Sat down and had a yarn
Lookin' back down the years
I'm right there by his side

[Chorus]
It was gold
The moment my heart will hold
It might take a little time to see it shine
It was gold

[Verse 2]
We hit three bad seasons
And I told him I'm finally givin' up
She held me in the darkness
She wept and whispered
Don't give up

[Interlude]
Though the years roll on
I still recall how she believed in me

[Chorus]
It was gold
The moment my heart will hold
It might take a little time to see it shine
It was gold
[Interlude]
The memories live on and on
The stories of my life

[Chorus]
It was gold
The moment my heart will hold
The power to move me on
And keep me strong

[Chorus]
Gold
The moment my heart will hold
It might take a little time to see it shine
Gold
The moment my heart will hold
It might take a little time to see it shine
It was gold

[Outro]
Oh, it was gold
