Lyrics
Fades Away
by Elizabeth Petty and Tammy Carlson

VERSE 1
Warm campfire
Cool summer night
Hot chocolate
Pale moonlight
Flannel pajamas
Star filled sky
Guitar strumming
Love's natural high....
Night's first firefly
CHORUS 1
The glow of summer's fireflies doesn't last
So delight in its moment not the future or past
Can we treasure love knowing it could go
cherish the present, embrace it's soul
Oh...a firefly lights then fades away....
VERSE 2
T-shirts and blue jeans
Fresh morning dew
Cup of hot coffee
Morning sun on you
Lake mist rising
Songbirds sing
Your hand in mine
Love's simple things....
rainbow half ring....
CHORUS 2
A colorful rainbow's arc doesn't last
So delight in its moment not the future or past
Can we treasure love knowing it could go
cherish the present, embrace it's soul
Oh...a rainbow comes then fades away...
BRIDGE
Those photos from our last trip
Bring a tear stained smile to my lips
My heart aches missing you
But I still chase fireflies, rainbows too
FINAL CHORUS
Sometimes love's beauty doesn't last
So delight in its moment not the future or past
I treasured our love knowing it could go
cherished the present, embraced it's soul
Oh...love's beauty was ours 'til it faded away..
Tag
love's beauty was ours 'til it faded away
