Lyrics

"FADING AWAY"
by Bobby McKinney 05/03/2021 (Macon Music Publishing)BMI

[verse1]
Tattoos and memories, that once left their mark.
A mark branded, it's branded on my heart.
One showed the world our love, you and me.
But neither one is as clear, as they used to be.

(chorus)
[three part harmony]
Fading away, fading away.
Nothing that I love is here to stay. {here to stay}
Fading away, fading away.
Nothing that I love is here to stay. {here to stay}

[verse2]
Beaten up and ragged, I feel helpless to stop.
Like a whiskey bottle emptied, drop by drop
Our souls tattered soldiers of our cold silent war.
With nothing left not trampled or dying on the floor.

(chorus)
[three part harmony]
Fading away, fading away.
Nothing that I love is here to stay. {here to stay}
Fading away, fading away.
Nothing that I love is here to stay. {here to stay}

[instrumental bridge]
[bridge]
A precious heart is a gift seldom given
Protect it, with all that you can
I learned late it's what makes life worth living
Don't take it for granted letting it slip through selfish hands

(chorus)
[three part harmony]
Fading away, fading away.
Nothing that I love is here to stay. {here to stay}
Fading away, fading away.
Nothing that I love is here to stay. {here to stay}
