Golden Moments Lyrics

Words & Music by James Taylor
(c) 1976, 1980 Country Road Music
Now if all my golden moments could be rolled into one
they would shine just like the sun on a summer day
D G Em7 A7Sus4 A#dim7 Bm C/D
And after it was over we could have it back again
D G Em7 A7Sus4 A#dim7 Bm D/E E D/E E
with credit to the editor for striking out the rain, very clean
G Em7 A7Sus4 A#dim7 Bm Csus2
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now
Now I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold
and I gathered up the gold and I threw it all away
D G Em7 A7Sus4 A#dim7 Bm C/D D
It all went for a good time and a song, come on
D G Em7 A7Sus4 A#dim7 Bm D/E E D/E E
But laughter was like music; it did float my soul along for a while
G Em7 A7Sus4 A#dim7 Bm Csus2
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone
You may think I might be crazy and I guess you might be right
but I know the way I feel today is out of sight
D G Em7 A7Sus4 A#dim7 Bm C/D D
I do not trust your senses to remember your name
G Em7 A7Sus4 A#dim7 Bm D/E E D/E E
Without corrective lenses things are never twice the same
G Em7 A7Sus4 A#dim7 Bm Csus2
And all it really needed was the proper point of view
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now.
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone.
