  • I get this feeling, every time I see your face
    You never grow old, you never look tired, you never seem outta place
    What a life you've led, I guess you've seen it all
    Put a sign on the door you're untouchable
    Put a sign on the door untouchable

    Once upon a time you were the leader of the pack, yes you were
    But here's to you Honey Gold, you're still a first class act

    Somebody's looking down on you
    Somebody's smiling down on you
    So cool, so fine, class redefined
    That style, so wild, that face, such grace
    After you they broke the mould, Honey Gold

    Somebody's looking down on you, yes they are
    Somebody's smiling down on you

    I remember you at a rally for peace in the summer of 95
    When you marched through the streets of London with all your children by your side
    Ahh, no man ever claimed you, no woman ever changed you
    Put a sign on the door you're untouchable
    Put a sign on the door untouchable

    And with all your blue blooded connections
    And all those friends in high places
    You know what, there's a rumour going around the street
    You even partied with The Faces, oh yeah

    Somebody's looking down on you, yes they are baby
    Somebody's smiling down on you
    Opinionated, educated, fascinated, breath taking, heart breaking
    Woman of the world or you're just a country girl
    After you, they broke the mould, Honey Gold

    Every now and then someone comes along
    That turns your whole world upside down
    You know what
    Every once in a while, you'll hear the spoken words of wisdom
    That'll turn your whole life around
    And you'll say to yourself why didn't I think of that
    Why didn't I think of that, why didn't I think of that
    Ah yeah

    Honey Gold
    You were our guiding light in the darkness and our dance in the sun
    So here's to your health and happiness, stay crazy and forever young
    Alright

    Somebody's looking down on you, from above
    Somebody's smiling down on you
    One of a kind, hard to define
    An angel of virtue, everybody loves you
    You're a star, yes you are
    Don't ever leave us Honey Gold
    Don't ever leave us

    Somebody's looking down on you
    Somebody's smiling down on you Writer/s: Emerson Swinford, Rod Stewart
