  • It's been a long time since I saw your face
    Dancing in the waters of Half Moon Bay
    I lost a lot of friends along the way
    But I'll be fine
    I'm in a golden state of mind

    I like it on the freeway when nobody's going my way
    Thought I needed money, now I wanna give it away
    'Cause love is all around and it don't cost a dime

    I'm in a golden state of mind
    Every bit of wonder
    Puts a star in my eye
    There's no valley I can't cross or mountain I can't climb
    I'm in a golden state of mind

    Was it the fireworks drumming over Chinatown
    Or was it my heart exploding when you came around?
    Hard to tell a tear from the city lights in your eyes
    But ever since the night you said goodbye
    I've been riding high

    I'm in a golden state of mind
    Every bit of wonder
    Puts a star in my eye
    There's no valley I can't cross or mountain I can't climb
    I'm in a golden state of mind

    Ooh, held you close 'til the last notes played
    Ooh, found myself when I let you fly away
    Ooh, found myself when I let you fly
    I'm in a golden state of mind Writer/s: Ketch Secor, Molly Tuttle
