Fade Away Lyrics

What can I say

Unsure what to believe

I feel I've gone a stray

Left alone to grieve

The suffering cant last

A daunting task

A lifetime of misery

We said our goodbyes

The flame of your light left in may

I watched you fade away

The silence is deafening

I hope heaven's listening tonight

Why'd it happen today

This pain is a disease

There was no other way

We've accepted your defeat

When the time was called

You've fought through it all

You took your last breath

And I fell down and bawled

I reached for your hand

As I prayed to God that day

I dreaded the day

Aligned at your wake

Grasping on memories

Tried to push down the pain

I saw something

I will never explain

I hope heaven's glistening

You reside in my memory
