Golden Lady

About Golden Lady

"Golden Lady" is a song by Stevie Wonder for the Tamla (Motown) label, from his 1973 Innervisions album. While it was never released as a single, the album itself peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Top 200. The love song, written by Stevie Wonder contrasts with the other songs on the record that comment upon societal issues within America. Examples include his comments on drug addiction within the song "Too High" and his political commentary on US President Richard Nixon in "He's Misstra Know-It-All". This song is influenced by the montuno style due to the chord progression and syncopated rhythms found within its chorus. He uses this montuno idea at a later date when he releases the song "Don't You Worry ‘bout a Thing." It also incorporates a picardy third in the ending of the chorus which typically found within Classical music. The piece also noticeably demonstrates some of Wonder's compositional tendencies, including implementation of a line cliche, half step modulations, rhythmic syncopation and sequencing of the melody. more »

Looking in your eyes
Kind of heaven eyes
Closing both my eyes
Waiting for surprise
To see the heaven in your eyes is not so far
'Cause I'm not afraid to try and go it
To know the love and the beauty never known before
I'll leave it up to you to show it

And golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Take me right away

Looking at your hands
Hands can understand
Waiting for the chance
Just to hold your hand

A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that's blooming
And it's so clear to me that you're a dream come true
There's no way that I'll be losing

And golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Take me right away

A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that's blooming
And it's so clear to me that you're my dream come true
There is no way that I'll be losing

And golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
