Verse 1 The sun sinks low beyond the hills Painting gold across the sky For a moment everything feels still Like time forgot to fly I stand here holding memories Like photographs in my hands Trying to keep the colors alive Before they slip away again Pre-Chorus Some things leave without a sound Just a shadow on the ground Chorus Like a fading light You slipped into the night So slowly I didn’t notice Until you were out of sight And now I chase the glow Of a love I used to know But every road I try Leads back to fading light Verse 2 I still hear your laughter sometimes In the spaces between songs Like an echo carried by the wind Reminding me you’re gone The world keeps turning without you But it doesn’t feel the same There’s a quiet kind of emptiness Attached to your name Pre-Chorus I keep reaching for the sun After the day is done Chorus Like a fading light You slipped into the night So slowly I didn’t notice Until you were out of sight And now I chase the glow Of a love I used to know But every road I try Leads back to fading light Post-Chorus Whoa-oh-oh, almost gone Whoa-oh-oh, holding on Bridge Maybe sunsets aren’t endings Maybe they’re just another view Of a light that keeps on shining Somewhere I can’t see it yet Final Chorus Like a fading light You still color every night Even when the darkness finds me I remember how you shined And though I can’t bring you back Or return to where we were I’ll carry what remains Of your fading light Outro The sky turns dark But I remember the light
