[00:06.87]Oh, the night is growing colder, [00:10.77]And the stars have lost their shine. [00:15.98]And I have been forsaken, [00:20.11]By everything I thought was mine. [00:25.39]For in the darkest hour, [00:29.45]When the final story's told, [00:34.40]No matter how bright I glittered, baby, [00:39.90]I could never be gold. [00:46.11]You gave up your finest treasure, [00:51.19]For the one you saw in me. [00:53.31] [00:55.13]But how could I know the measure, [00:58.50] [00:59.50]Of all you needed me to be. [01:02.37] [01:04.75]Though I came with sweet intentions, [01:09.82]More my pockets could not hold. [01:14.63]No matter how bright I glittered, baby, [01:20.50]I could never be gold. [01:23.69] [01:26.38]I finally gave up counting, [01:30.25]The ways you said I let you down. [01:35.38]When I fell into that river of no return, [01:41.32]And you watched me drown. [01:47.25]Oh I could sparkle like a diamond, [01:52.69]Have silver line my soul. [01:56.51]But no matter how I glittered, baby, [02:02.50]I could never be gold. [02:08.00] [02:29.94]You looked so high and low for heaven, [02:34.51]I tried so hard to show the way. [02:38.63]But though I flew on wings of angels, [02:42.82]My feet were always made of clay. [02:46.44] [02:50.13]I could come trailing clouds of glory, [02:54.82]But you saw nothing to behold. [03:00.82]No matter how bright I glittered, baby [03:06.01]I could never be gold. [03:10.26] [03:11.94]No matter how bright I glittered, baby, [03:16.88] [03:17.44]I could never be gold.
