Golden Light

Instrumental Intro

(Bright acoustic guitar, handclaps, warm percussion)

Verse 1

Woke up to the sun through the shutters

Salt on my skin from the night before

You left your number on a napkin

Said meet me down where the waves kiss the shore

Sandalwood and coconuts in the air

Flip-flops shuffling on cobblestone streets

I caught your laugh from a café chair

Summer hit me like a fever beat

Pre-Chorus

And oh, the light is golden now

Your hand in mine, we're spinning round

No plans, no maps, just sound and sea

You look at me

Chorus

Oh, let the sun keep falling

Feel the rhythm getting taller

Dancing 'til the moonlight swallows

Every worry in the water

Oh, let the sun keep falling

Hands up when the bassline calls us

Tonight we're silver, we're the starlight

Summer love — it's all that we've got

Hook

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Verse 2

You drove a rented Fiat to the cliffside

Played something old on the radio dial

We laughed about nothing half the nighttime

Then kissed beneath a sky full of fireflies

Pale blue shutters and bougainvillea

Lemon trees and the evening hum

Every moment feels like a film still

And baby you're my favorite one

Pre-Chorus

The wine is warm, the hour is late

Your silhouette against the gate

No words, no rush, just you and me

Come set me free

Chorus

Oh, let the sun keep falling

Feel the rhythm getting taller

Dancing 'til the moonlight swallows

Every worry in the water

Oh, let the sun keep falling

Hands up when the bassline calls us

Tonight we're silver, we're the starlight

Summer love — it's all that we've got

Bridge

(Layered harmonies building)

Days melt into nights melt into gold

You're the story I'll never let go

Hold me close 'neath the streetlamp glow

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Final Chorus - with ad-libs and harmonies

Oh, let the sun keep falling (keep on falling)

Feel the rhythm getting taller (taller, taller)

Dancing 'til the moonlight swallows (oh, it swallows)

Every worry in the water (in the water)

Oh, let the sun keep falling (hey!)

Hands up when the bassline calls us (hands up now)

Tonight we're silver, we're the starlight (we're the starlight)

Summer love — it's all that we've got (woah-oh-oh)

Outro

(Whispered ad-lib) Just you and the waves and me...

(Soft guitar fades with handclaps)
