Lyrics
Fade Away
Once upon a time, a man said I will
Stand up beside you and stay there until
All your fears
Fade away
Like the mist in the morning
At the dawning of the day
Fade away
Just fade away
Once upon a time, a woman said I do
Give my heart to no one else but you
And all your loneliness
Will fade away
Like the mist in the morning
At the dawning of the day
They'll fade away
Fade away
Somebody said love lives through me and you
I look inside me and see that it's all true
One by one the stars will all go out someday
But love will not fade away
Love will not fade away
Once upon a time, two people joined their hands
And swore before the Lord that their love would always stand
And their emptiness
Would fade away
Like the mist in the morning
At the dawning of the day
Fade away
Just fade away
Somebody said love lives through me and you
I look inside me and see that it's all true
One by one the stars will all go out someday
But love will not fade away
Love will not fade away
Love will not fade away
It will not fade away
Love will not fade away
It will not fade away
