Calm down sweetheart, take the air in
Wont you smile for me.
Wipe the tears away from your eyes
Its not all that it seems.
Calm down sweetheart, take the air in
Wont you smile for me.
Wipe the tears away from your eyes
Its not all that it seems.

Open the window, let the sunlight there kiss your face(yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face(yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Golden

You’ve felt sadness you’ve felt hunger
But you are still here.
Make a space for all the good times
Store them in your heart.
You’ve felt sadness you’ve felt hunger
But you are still here.
Make a space for all the good times
Store them in your heart.

Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face (yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face(yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Golden

This is your moment.
You gotta take it in.
You might of said that you been burned, but blackened how we know.
This is your moment.

Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face (yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Open the window let the sunlight there kiss your face(yesterdays gone)
Cause these days are golden, golden.
Golden

    Yeah first comment!!!! This is such a well written song and probably my favourite, a good way to finish the album, has a nice upbeat rhythm to it.

    what it means to me, well its clear. the golden years of life itself, the potential that is here when you are at the peak of your life. even if you have gone through tough times, even then, i suggest there are upsides. maybe, you've gotta try, to forget yesterday's sadness, just forget it, leave it behind you...

@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
