She runs down the staircase    And into the yard    And she goes down to the end of the drive   With her friends on the phone    And her angels on guard    She's just recently feeling alive    After all of the tears and the changes    Now there's something that's taken ahold   She's becoming gold    She's becoming gold       She thinks of a boy    That she knew back in school    And she wonders if he's doing all right    The man of her dreams    Isn't all that he seems    And the baby don't sleep through the night   Something is moving inside her    And the weather is turning so cold    But she's becoming gold,    She's becoming gold    She's becoming gold (I've seen her)    She's becoming gold       She can hear in the distance    The sound of the cars    And she sees the snow falling down on the hill   Now the trees and the houses    Are white as the stars    And she doesn't wanna cry    But she probably will    As she thinks about all of life's mystery    And how slowly the answers unfold    She's becoming gold    She's becoming gold
