I think I'd prefer if you didn't know anything special about me
Yes, I think it's best, given my high propensity for making poetry
Out of every shooting star
So, please, don't fall in love
I'm not the boy you should be plucking off petals for
Or telling secrets about
Believe me, I really want to feel it
This time, I really thought I could

But just when I started to feel happy again
That's when my heart went all to pieces my friend
Cause you never know what beauty you'll find
Down the velvet goldmine

So, then let it snow
Let there be tinsel all trimmin' the boulevards
And all those baggage claims
I'll be at the movies. I'll have my own row at the cinerama dome
Handin' out miracles, givin' out angels wings
To every mother's child who knows

Whenever you're starting to feel happy again
That's when your heart goes all to pieces, my friend
Cause you never know what beauty you'll find
Down the velvet goldmine

Lai de dai lai de dai de dai de dai de dai de dai
Lai de dai lai de dai de dai de dai de dai de dai
Lai de dai lai de dai de dai de dai de dai de dai
Lai de da de da

Maybe I'm starting to feel happy again
Maybe these arms won't know how
To let go of him
And are we the wise ones gathered
Confessing our fears
Searching the stars within us
That others might hear?

There could be angels waiting to bring us the news
Of one little boy in love with the world left to choose
Can we leave all this heartache behind
In the velvet goldmine?
