Golden Silence - Inspired by Shelagh Bullman's "Silence is Golden"

"Golden Silence" is a song inspired by “Silence is Golden” by Shelagh Bullman
*[Verse 1]*
They say silence is golden - I believe it’s true.
'Cause in the quiet glow of it, all I see is you.
You’re the flame on my candle, burning steady and bright.
You’re the warmth in the darkness that turns wrong to right.
*[Pre-Chorus]*
No words are needed when your love speaks.
In the hush of the world, it’s your name I keep.
*[Chorus]* (Hook)
In this golden silence, you’re every sound I hear.
The rush of the ocean, the thunder so clear.
You’re the stars in the night, every light from above.
No need for a voice when it’s you that I love.
No whispers, no echoes, no shadows that fall -
Just golden silence, and you through it all.
*[Verse 2]*
You’re the wings of the butterflies dancing inside,
The reason my heart races, the pulse I can’t hide.
You’re the wild in the lightning that splits through the dark,
A spark in my chest, a wildfire’s start.
*[Pre-Chorus]*
No words are needed when your love speaks.
In the hush of the world, it’s your name I keep.
*[Chorus]* (Hook)
In this golden silence, you’re every sound I hear.
The rush of the ocean, the thunder so clear.
You’re the stars in the night, every light from above.
No need for a voice when it’s you that I love.
No whispers, no echoes, no shadows that fall -
Just golden silence, and you through it all.
*[Bridge]*
No mountains too high, no oceans too wide.
I’d cross them in stillness with you by my side.
I’ve searched for the words, but none feel as strong
As the quiet where I’ve loved you all along.
*[Chorus]* (Hook)
In this golden silence, you’re every sound I hear.
The rush of the ocean, the thunder so clear.
You’re the stars in the night, every light from above.
No need for a voice when it’s you that I love.
No whispers, no echoes, no shadows that fall -
Just golden silence, and you through it all.
*[Outro]*
No whispers, no echoes, no shadows that fall -
Just golden silence, and you through it all.

The key change here is the shift from "all" to "fall" in the final lines of the chorus and outro. It maintains the emotional depth while giving the rhyme scheme more variety. Let me know if you'd like further adjustments or new ideas for hooks or verses!
