The day that I met you I thought that
God had pressed the golden button.
I danced in all the shiny bits of tin foil
That rained down as an answer to my prayer
And spread happiness across my lonely floor .

I never would have thought I had the talent
To impress the cosmos or the likes of Cupid
To feel it was my turn to win the contest
And love from such a treasure that is you.

If you've ever watched "America's Got Talent", you know what the golden button is.  One judge decides the contestant is so good he needs to go straight to the live show filming. And the shiny gold foil strips rain down to announce the celebration.  It's jubilation on steroids when that happens.
