Fading Lights

Fading Lights

 

Another time it might have been so different

            If only we could do it again

            But now it’s just another fading memory

            Out of focus, though the outline still remains.

 

Far away, away, fading distant lights

            Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world

            And you know that these are the days of our lives;

                        Remember…

 

Like the story that we wish was never ending

            We know that sometime we must reach the final page

            Still we carry on still pretending

            That there’ll always be another day to go.

 

Far away, away, fading distant lights

            Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world

            And you know that these are the days of our lives;

                        Remember…

 

Another chance hello, another goodbye

            And so many things we’ll never see again

            Days of life that seemed so unimportant

            Seem to matter and count so much later on.

 

Far away, away, fading distant lights

            Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world

            And you know that these are the days of our lives;

                        Remember…
