Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You were a quiet boy growing up in the heart of Texas
You had a quiet father too
He built the car you drove, it was a '69 and '70 Mustang
He took two halves of broken cars and made 'em new
You sat there in the garage, there was oil on his hands
He didn't tell you much, so I hope you understand
That you are wonderful, you are kind
You are patient, you are humble, and you are wise
You don't see it with your own eyes
But you are gold to me and I love the way you shinе
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You were a quiet boy, driving two hours wеst to college
Thought you'd be a doctor, a medicine man
But two years later, you found a different kind of knowledge
When a friend put an old guitar there in your hands
You moved to Tennessee and you didn't know it then
But you'd heal with melody, you still didn't understand
You are wonderful, you are kind
You are patient, you are humble, and you are wise
You don't see it with your own eyes
But you are gold to me and I love the way you shine
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I learned how to sing, so I could sing right next to you
Just like you would watch your dad make a broken car brand new
There have been a thousand songs that have carried me through
And in their melodies your quiet voice says, "I love you too"
You are wonderful, you are kind
You are patient, you are humble, and you are wise
You don't see it with your own eyes
You are gold to me and I love the way you shine
You are gold to me and I love the way you shine
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I love the way you shine
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I love the way you shine
