They Fade by Rikard Sjblom Lyrics

It's been almost twenty years
Since I last saw this place
Everything seem's smaller now
And it hasn't aged with grace
I spent my tenth summer
Building a tree house in that glade
And I burnt my fingers
Reaching for the sun
And learned my place
Was in the shade

Well I was just a child
But still there's things that I regret
You keep on haunting me
So how can I forget?
As they were older
When they hurt you I stood by
And wished that I was stronger
Than I was
But I couldn't even cry
Oh fade, fade
Sweet memories they fade away
Now I'm writing you a song
Cause I don't know no other way

How can it feel like it was yesterday
I ran scross these frozen fields
It was the shortest way

Every little footprint that my smaller
Size shoes made, etched in my eyes
My body and my soul
Was the path down to the glade

You're the one who's
Etched into my soul
Way back then we would run
Without a goal
And everything around me fades away
I'm writing you this love song
I'm writing you this song
My old friend
I'm writing you this song
Ive been waiting for this day
