GOLDEN HEART

Story Behind The Song

This song is particularly dear to my heart and describes a real person-my younger brother, Dorian. Songwriting became my personal therapy and as I began to reflect on the life snuffed out so young I realized that there was a lot that he taught me in his short time with us. I had only to listen.

Lyrics

I KNEW THE MAN THE LEGENDS SAY HAD A HEART OF GOLD
AND HE COULD LOOK YOU IN THE EYES AND TOUCH YOUR SOUL
NOT A MAN, OH NO, YOU'D EVER READ ABOUT IN BOOKS
HE WASN'T RICH, DIDN'T SAIL THE SEAS, HE WASN'T HUNG UP ON HIS LOOKS

THEN ONE DAY HE DIED LIKE A SOLDIER AND I
I LOST A FRIEND OF MINE
I'M PROUD TO SAY HE WAS MY BROTHER
HE WAS MY MOTHER'S CHILD

AND IN MY HEART I CRIED WHEN HE DIED
I FELT LIKE SOMETHING GREAT HAD ENDED
YEAH IN MY HEART I CRIED WHEN HE DIED
I SAW MY GREATEST DREAMS SUBSIDE - SUBSIDE

CHORUS
GOLDEN HEART YOU TAUGHT ME VERY WELL
MY BROKEN HEART CAN'T BREAK THAT SPELL
NEVER GONNA GIVE UP NEVER SAY DIE
THE BODY BREAKS BUT THE SPIRIT SURVIVES - SURVIVES



BRIDGE
WELL WE ARE NEVER WHOLE UNTIL WE'RE TOUCHED BY LOVE
BUT SHE IS A GIFT SO RARE FROM THE HEART ABOVE
NO WE ARE NEVER WHOLE TILL WE COME BY LOVE
BUT SHE IS THE WIND SHE IS GONE IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON



VERSE
GOLDEN HEART I LOVED YOU
THE LEGACY YOU'VE LEFT ME IS CLEAR
AND GOLDEN HEART I MISS YOU
BUT I'VE LEARNED TO DRY MY TEARS AND OVERCOME MY FEARS

CAUSE I'VE SEEN THINGS THAT COULD MAKE A KILLER CRY
AND I'VE KNELT AND PRAYED AND WONDERED WHY
WISH I COULD TRADE OUR PLACES WITH A SMILE
I WISH I COULD BRING YOU BACK FROM THE OTHER SIDE

CHORUS
GOLDEN HEART YOU TAUGHT ME VERY WELL
MY BROKEN HEART CAN'T BREAK THAT SPELL
NEVER GONNA GIVE UP NEVER SAY DIE
THE BODY BREAKS BUT THE SPIRIT SURVIVES SURVIVES

GOLDEN HEART YOU TAUGHT ME VERY WELL - GOLDEN HEART I LOVED YOU

GOLDEN HEART YOU TAUGHT ME VERY WELL - GOLDEN HEART I MISS YOU

GOLDEN HEART YOU TAUGHT ME VERY WELL - GOLDEN HEART I LOVED YOU

GOLDEN HEART YOU TAUGHT ME VERY WELL - GOLDEN HEART I MISS YOU
