Standard (EADGBE)

The night time claims the day

Shadows grow long where I live

I watched the sunlight dance off my water's leaves

Fall down in vain

I had you on my mind

I think I see you sometimes

I smile when I think of that Betsy dress

And that night when we were a mess

So fade

Fade, fade away

I'm gonna watch you fade away

Into remembrance day

I saw you standing there

Unraveling in the autumn air

You're gonna ask if I'm dating again

and I'll ask if you write much these days

And you still laugh the same

and we still laugh without shame

but in between words, the silence ensues

and I know, I'm losing you

So fade

Fade, fade away

I'm gonna watch you fade away

Into remembrance day

If this is the last time we'll meet

And it's strange how I'll never see

Your life's familiar mystery that once unfolded for me

So fade

Fade, fade away

I'm gonna watch you fade away

Into remembrance day

Into remembrance day

Into remembrance day
