Love is like gold but gold isn’t like love

I found a shimmer in the darkness,

A light that warmed me like the sun.

You touched my heart and in that moment,

I knew the treasure I had won.

But riches fade and days grow colder,

Coins grow dull when they’re enough—

Still you shine, a little bolder,

’Cause love is like gold, but gold isn’t like love.

Love is like gold, it glows in the night,

It’s rare and it’s precious, it bends to the light.

But gold can’t hold you when times get tough,

Love is like gold—

But gold isn’t like love.

I’ve seen the world chase after fortune,

Hearts get lost in what they own.

But I found wealth inside your laughter,

A place my soul calls home.

The finest gems can crack and crumble,

Strongest steel can break above—

But you stay true when I stumble,

’Cause love is like gold, but gold isn’t like love.

Love is like gold, it glows in the night,

It’s rare and it’s precious, it bends to the light.

But gold can’t hold you when times get tough,

Love is like gold—

But gold isn’t like love.

You can’t mine it, you can’t buy it,

No vault on Earth could ever hide it.

It’s fragile and fierce, heaven-sent,

Worth more than every element.

Love is like gold, a fire so bright,

It’s warm in the cold and it pulls you upright.

But gold can’t promise what we’re dreaming of,

Love is like gold—

But gold isn’t like love.
