[00:05.88]Oh, the night is growing colder,
[00:10.37]And the stars have lost their shine.
[00:15.21]And I have been forsaken,
[00:19.32]By everything I thought was mine.
[00:24.36]For in the darkest hour,
[00:29.22]When the final story's told,
[00:34.14]No matter how bright I glittered, baby,
[00:39.81]I could never be gold.
[00:43.75]
[00:45.55]You gave up your finest treasure,
[00:50.41]For the one you saw in me.
[00:54.87]But how could I know the measure,
[00:59.30]Of all you needed me to be.
[01:04.49]Though I came with sweet intentions,
[01:08.89]More my pockets could not hold.
[01:14.23]No matter how bright I glittered, baby,
[01:19.84]I could never be gold.
[01:23.28]
[01:25.78]I finally gave up counting,
[01:29.86]The ways you said I let you down.
[01:35.04]When I fell into that river of no return,
[01:41.29]And you watched me drown.
[01:46.39]Oh I could sparkle like a diamond,
[01:51.56]Have silver line my soul.
[01:56.36]But no matter how I glittered, baby,
[02:02.10]I could never be gold.
[02:05.85]
[02:28.70]You looked so high and low for heaven,
[02:33.34]I tried so hard to show the way.
[02:38.09]But though I flew on wings of angels,
[02:42.47]My feet were always made of clay.
[02:49.83]I could come trailing clouds of glory,
[02:54.50]But you saw nothing to behold.
[03:00.16]No matter how bright I glittered, baby
[03:05.65]I could never be gold.
[03:08.91]
[03:11.65]No matter how bright I glittered, baby,
[03:17.39]I could never be gold.
