Heart of Gold
Simone Kopmajer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to live,
I want to give
I′ve been a miner for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold.

And I′m getting old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood
I′ve been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold.
I′ve been in my mind,
It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold.

And I′m getting old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold.
You keep me searching and I'm growing old.
You Keep me searching for a heart of gold.

That keeps me searching for a heart of gold.
You keep me searching and I′m growing old.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold.




You Keep me searching for a heart of gold.
Keep me searching for a heart of gold.

Spotlights - Simone Kopmajer - Lyrics

It’s alright, sit for a while.
It’s alright, give me a smile.
It can’t be all that bad,
Though the sun don’t shine.

Tell me, how did it all start?
Tell me, how he broke your heart!
It can’t be all that bad,
Though you’re sittin’ in the dark.

Well, Mama said, he’d do me wrong.
Papa said, “Let him be”.
But you know I'm so headstrong
And now there’s nothing that can comfort me.

It’s alright, it won’t be long.
Time will bring a happier song.
Let the sun refuse to shine -
Just turn the spotlights on.

Musical Interlude

It’s alright, sit for a while.
It’s alright, give me a smile.
It can’t be all that bad,
Though the sun don’t shine.

Tell me, how did it all start?
Tell me, how he broke your heart!
It can’t be all that bad,
Though you’re sittin’ in the dark.

Well, Mama said, he’d do me wrong.
Papa said, “Let him be”.
But you know I'm so headstrong
And now there’s nothing that can comfort me.

It’s alright, it won’t be long.
Time will bring a happier song.
Let the sun refuse to shine -
Just turn the spotlights on.
