I want you to know
I’m leaving to let you go
One day we’ll walk upon
Streets of gold
I don’t remember seeing fear in your eyes
When you were fading
The day we said our goodbyes
It’s easy to say that there’s a reason for this
Much harder to know
That what we say is true
Everything we hold could someday slip away
I want you to know
I’m leaving to let you go
And someday we’ll walk upon
The streets of gold
Running through your veins was a slow-ticking clock
Counting down the days
And no one could make it stop
All of the time that it takes to figure it out
Could be the moments
That you can’t live without
Everything we hold could someday slip away
I want you to know
I’m leaving to let you go
And someday we’ll walk upon
The streets of gold
The trouble with love is that it comes to an end
I’ve got a feeling I’m gonna find you again
Just in a place where love can’t die
This song talks about how, when we die one day we will walk upon 'streets of gold' meaning Heaven. It says that I will leave BUT you can come to. When I leave later when you pass on to the better life we will see each other again. The streets are gold because gold is pure and so is heaven, only the purest things can comei into Heaven, like a pure spirit. So only if you have a pure spirit will you get to Heaven. How do I get a pure spirit?.?.FORGIVNESS!! If you have done something wrong, which we all do, you can ask for fogivness to the Lord and he will forgive you! and you will be able to walk on streets of gold with me! :)
