This song was inspired by t.v. commercials featuring actor William Devane, who has spent the last few years trying to convince Americans to buy gold.

Lyrics-

The lonely days of summer made me think of you
And I remember good times we have seen
The sky is bright and beautiful
Wish I felt the same
But nothing‘s ever quite the way it seems.

There’s bad news right now on the radio
and somber faces watch my passing car
And as the death toll rises…
thoughts race out to you
and I sure hope you are safe, right where you are.

Remember how it felt for gold to touch your skin?
We’d fill the bathtubs with champagne and jump right in…
It would be nice to live like Kennedy’s again
And everyone would love us
Like they did back then.

I shook with fear until you reached for me
Then suddenly I stood on solid ground…
I love you cause you thought of me when everything went wrong
But I sure miss you like hell
When you are gone.

Remember how it felt for gold to touch your skin?
we’d fill the bathtubs with champagne and jump right in…
It would be nice to live like Kennedy’s again
And everyone would love us
Like they did back then.

Terrific song Proods. I think I can recognize the soundbites from the end...I heard Willy Wonka, George Costanza and a bit from a Droopy cartoon.
