Weight in Gold
Style: Motown soul

[Verse 1]
Crate of plums beside the scale
Brass arm tipping, telling its tale
Nobody needs to measure you
No number could ever fit the scale

[Chorus]
Alys, Alys, light up the room
Every year you're back too soon
Nothing weighs the same as you
Alys, we're glad you bloomed

[Verse 2]
Stack the fruit up, watch it lean
Sweetest thing that we have seen
But put you next to all of it
You outshine the whole routine

[Pre-chorus]
So let the candles catch and climb
Let somebody pour the wine
We've been waiting all this time for

[Chorus]
Alys, Alys, light up the room
Every year you're back too soon
Nothing weighs the same as you
Alys, we're glad you bloomed

[Bridge]
No scale was built to hold your worth
No crate could carry all your worth
We just keep on counting anyway
Glad we get another year on earth

[Chorus]
Alys, Alys, light up the room
Every year you're back too soon
Nothing weighs the same as you
Alys, we're glad you bloomed

[Outro]
Let the plums roll where they may
We already found our gold today
