Fading Away

Do you remember? How we used to play pretend? And giggle and laugh Until the day's end? Do you remember? The many adventures we took Together as partners, With every step, the earth shook Do you remember? The nights filled with tears, I was there to comfort you And help fight your fears Do you remember? Before life took you cruel When you rolled in the mud And had pirate duels Do you remember? Creating your own world? Instead of simply living You used to be such an imaginative girl Do you remember? The songs we'd sing, The acts you'd write When you did your own thing Do you remember? The good times we had? Even though you could never have That number one dad Do you still remember? The happy you? Cheerful, beautiful, wild Not thinking, just do Because I remember... You used to say You'll never abandon your dreams But even now, we're both fading away
