When Paper Turns to Gold

I’m not asking you to believe

That I’m your salvation, your light or your reprieve

I just wanna be someone that you may come to find you need

I don’t expect you to fall to your knees

And not to hang on every word that I speak

I’m just asking you to listen so that we can be the best we can be

When this day is done, and our future’s just begun

We’ll look back at all who gathered to watch us join our hearts in love

I’ll give you my last name

If you’ll offer me your hand to have and to hold

I can’t wait to see our lives unfold

When paper turns to gold

You don’t need a veil to hide behind

Because what it would’ve covered is all I’d ever hoped to find

Just wanna look into those eyes

And show you just how much you matter

And that I’ll never leave your side

Cause I can’t wait to see us when we’re old

When paper turns to gold

And when paper turns to leather

We’ll welcome our first child together

And when leather turns to lace

We’ll have to find a bigger place

And when lace turns to copper

I’ll have to give away our daughter

As time goes by we’ll leave our mark

When paper turns to gold

When all is said and done, and we face a setting sun

We’ll look back at all who gathered to watch us live our lives in love

I gave you my last name

Because you offered me your hand to have and to hold

We’ll be the greatest story ever told

When paper turns to gold
