Those days when our hearts were as big as the sun

turn around with a smile for everyone

that feeling's a memory

funny how it fades away

You won't see those pale grays returning to blues

the colors will wash out as I shrink in my shoes

and I won't always live and breathe

watch me as I fade away

we wake in the morning and work all day

we dress up in the evening with nothing to say

just like a candle burning bright

burning like forever then it fades away

who on this planet would ever refuse

the chance of a lifetime to love and lose

when time is of no importance

have you seen it slip away?

we wake in the morning and work all day

we dress up in the evening with nothing to say

just like a candle burning bright

burning like forever then it fades away

we wake in the morning and work all day

we dress up in the evening with nothing to say

just like a candle burning bright

burning like forever then it fades away
