Fade Away

Looking back over my shoulder All I see is that I'm getting older You know it feels a little strange (sometimes) To know that's something that I can't change Close my eyes and I'm there again Things seem exactly like they were back then See your hands reach out for me Exactly how it was supposed to be See a lifetime fade away Watch it all just fade away Holding on with both hands still it slips right through Nothing I can do... about it now You were always a ray of light Filling up a lot of empty nights Spending all my time hanging off of that telephone line Never could've see you had someone else in mind You walked away with no reason and no rhyme Guess I wasn't what you needed at the time Third time's a charm but not for me, wasn't meant to be now Whatever was wrong, I couldn't see it See your light just fade away Watch it all just fade away Holding on with both hands still it slips right through Nothing I can do... about it now Sometimes I wonder what you're doing now I know I've got better things to think about Times are different and we are too, I'm sure I remember how good it felt to finally forget you I'm not the boy that I was back then 'Cause where we are comes from where we've been I gave the best of me, and you got the best of me It all happened for a reason See a good love fade away Watch it all just fade away Holding on with both hands still it slips right through Nothing I can do... about it now See a memory fade away Watch it all just fade away Held on with both hands now I let it slip right through It's all that I can do... about it now
