Lyrics
You're tiny hands around my thumb
When you first opened your eyes
First breath of life, eyes so wide and warm
Made me a man who'd never say goodbye
Cause every little heartbeat has its own time
You can build and make it right
Your good soul will find you
And I won't look back
Though I'm on my own
If I go let it be tonight
I won't be around the rest of your life
But I'm in your heart
And I'm there when you need help to find
Your heart of gold
Do you recall making up songs in the car while driving?
Bakery Fayre, that's the one
Now you've grown, I couldn't be more proud to see the road you're on
I see your strength in your smile
Cause every little heartbeat has its own time
You can build and make it right
Your good soul will find you
And I won't look back
Though I'm on my own
If I go let it be tonight
I won't be around the rest of your life
But I'm in your heart
And I'm there when you need help to find
Your heart of gold
Never worry about tomorrow
Forget about yesterday
Live for the moment
I know you'll find your way
Cause every little heartbeat has its own time
You can build and make it right
Your good soul will find you
And I won't look back
Though I'm on my own
If I go let me be your light
I won't be around the rest of your life
But I'm in your heart
And I'm there when you need help to find
Your heart of gold
You've got a heart of gold
