Fireflies at twilight; pink cotton candy clouds
On a big yellow slide; you go round and down
Little girl with yellow curls; laughter in your eyes
Happy playing in the park; on a golden summer night
Chorus 1:
Golden girl, so full of life
Laughter and stardust in your eyes
Playing there in the sand
I wonder what God’s got planned
For your life, my little golden girl
Carousels and pony rides; birthdays filled with fun
Catch fireflies in a jar; golden laughter as you run
Sunday school, the golden rule; prayers to Jesus at night
Growing taller every day; you are the light of my life
Chorus 1:
Golden girl, so full of life
Laughter and stardust in your eyes
Playing there in the sand
I wonder what God’s got planned
For your life, my little golden girl
Slumber parties with your friends; laughter late in the night
Today’s your graduation day; how quickly the years flew by
Chorus 2:
Golden girl, so full of life
Laughter and stardust in your eyes
Standing there, tall and proud
Proclaiming Christ clear and loud
To the world, beautiful golden girl
Bridge 1: Grown-up girl with golden curls
And Jesus shining in your eyes
Heading to the mission field
Living your life for Christ
Chorus 2:
Golden girl, so full of life
Laughter and stardust in your eyes
Standing there, tall and proud
Proclaiming Christ clear and loud
To the world, beautiful golden girl
Final Bridge: Grown-up girl with golden curls
And Jesus shining in your eyes
Heading to the mission field
As I proudly wave good-bye…
