Just had to come over and tell you that
C D
These right here are the golden years
CHORUS
G D
The first steps when they stumble, first words that they mumble

First ball that they fumble, and they try to hide the tears

Her Cinderella palace, the bike he learns to balance

Take a look around, yeah, right now are the golden years
