## Lyrics

I hold your chin within my hand like a promise

I’ll never let it go

I see the blush within your face, if I’m honest

I love to see you glow

I sit and wait in anticipation

Feel you in my soul

I wake and breath my infatuation

Think I lost control

I think I see the light

I think this time it’s right

I think my heart is open

I think you made me golden

You hold my lips in between yours like a locket

I’ll follow where you go

You see the light within my eyes, you don’t block it

You let my good side show

I sit and wait in anticipation

Feel you in my soul

I wake and breath my infatuation

Think I lost control

I think I see the light

I think this time it’s right

I think my heart is open

I think you made me golden

I think I see the light

(I sit and wait in anticipation)

(Feel you in my soul)

I think this time it’s right

(I wake and breath my infatuation)

(Think I lost control)

I think my heart is open

I think you made me golden

I’m golden

Golden

I’m golden

It’s all alright

I know it

Know it

I know it

I think I see the light

I think this time it’s right

I think my heart is open

I think you made me golden

I think I see the light

(I sit and wait in anticipation)

(Feel you in my soul)

I think this time it’s right

(I wake and breath my infatuation)

(Think I lost control)

I think my heart is open

I think you made me golden

I think I see the light

I think this time it’s right

I think my heart is open

I think you made me golden
