Fading Away

Lyrics by Steven R. Drennon, ©️ 1989 - 2025 [Verse 1] The love we once shared is now fading away. I’ve wandered about; I don’t know where I’ve been. I’m searching for something I know I won’t find. These arms that once held you are empty again. [Verse 2] The streets are all crowded, and yet I’m alone. Those memories of loving you ache in my mind. I know that tomorrow will still be the same. These eyes that beheld you might just well be blind. [Chorus] Fading away like a song in the wind, A love that was strong now too weak to mend. The echoes of laughter, the touch of your hand, Slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Fading away like the stars before dawn, I reach for the past, but it’s already gone. I try to find words, but there’s nothing to say, The love we once shared is just fading away. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] I sleep only briefly; I wake in a sweat, Those moments of wakefulness tortured by shame. I’ve started to call, but don’t know what to say. These lips that once kissed you just whisper your name. [Verse 4] The day starts anew, but I still feel the pain. Perhaps it will ease some; I hope that it may. I want to still love you, but truly I fear, The love we once shared is now fading away. [Chorus] Fading away like a song in the wind, A love that was strong now too weak to mend. The echoes of laughter, the touch of your hand, Slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Fading away like the stars before dawn, I reach for the past, but it’s already gone. I try to find words, but there’s nothing to say, The love we once shared is just fading away. [Instrumental Outro]
