Fading Away

I faded into her life through course of time
I didn’t know she would ever be mine
It wasn’t a love at very first sight
It came with a hug and I held her tight
I gave her my heart and she formed it like clay
Now I’m just fading, fading away

We admired the stars and romanced the trees
I adored her more than any of these
The time we spent holding each other embrace
Cannot compare to one look at her face
I hoped she was mine forever-today
Now I’m just fading, fading away

She took me to places that I’ve never been
She took me to love and made me fit in
I taught her to laugh she taught me to cry
We shared a joy that brought tears to the eye
I owe her a debt I’m more willing to pay
Now I’m just fading, fading away

Things aren’t always how they should be
Though never said, I know she loved me
It didn’t come easy when he entered in
I lost sight of the love that I struggled to win
I was part of her life I thought there to stay
Now I’m just fading, fading…
