All Things Fade Away

Remember the time we took a walk downtown and you held my hand in the pouring rain? I was three years old and you were twenty two, but even then I knew your life would end this way Cold hands I'm feeling Last breath you're breathing Mama, don't you go I'm all grown up and I've really got something to show you Mama, I'm gonna be famous I want you to see what I did with the name you gave me I remember what my Aunty said (all things fade away) All things fade away (all things fade away) I remember what my Aunty said (all things fade away) You, you, you, you taught me how to dream To leave my feet and reach for the stars Now every face that lays an eye on me Will know how beautiful you are Mama, don't you go I'm all grown up and I've really got something to show you Mama, I'm gonna be famous I want you to see what I did with the life you gave me I remember what my Aunty said (all things fade away) I remember what my Aunty said (all things fade away) I remember what my Aunty said (all things fade away) And I'm gonna fly I wanna hold you I'm gonna fly I wanna show you I'm gonna fly I wanna show you I want you to see what I did with the life you gave me When all things fade away
