Lyrics James Taylor

James Taylor

Golden Moments

Now if all my golden moments

Could be rolled into one

They would shine just like the sun

For a Summer day

And after it was over

We could have it back again

With credit to the editor

For striking out the rain (very clean)

And all it really needed

Was the proper point of view

No one's gonna bring me down

No one's gonna stop me now

Now I gathered up my sorrows

And I sold them all for gold

And I gathered up the gold

And I threw it all away

It all went for a good time and a song (come on)

The laughter was like music

It did float my soul along for awhile

And all it really needed was the proper point of view

No one's gonna reach me here

No one's gonna know I'm gone

You may think I must be crazy

And I guess you must be right

But I know the way I feel today is out of sight

I do not trust my senses to remember your name

Without corrective lenses

Things are never twice the same anyway

And all it really needed

Was the proper point of view

No one's gonna bring me down

No one's gonna stop me now

No one's gonna reach me here

No one's gonna know I'm gone
