Fades lyrics

He fades Day by day How he has held on so long to life I'll never know Maybe there's someplace beyond He doesn't wanna go? I hope that he can hear us When we say we love him so Maybe there's someplace beyond He doesn't wanna go? He fades Day by day Goodbye so many times We just don't know how long he'll stay Next time that I leave Could it be then he slips away? I'm not the one in bed and yet Somehow I feel so drained Next time that I leave Could it be then he slips away? I've never felt an hour pass so fast And yet so slow He's all but gone and yet what's left Refuses to let go We're hoping for it now Is that so bad? It feels so close He's all but gone and yet what's left Refuses to let go
