D G The night time claims the day D A Shadows grow long where I live D G D I watched the sunlight dance off my water's leaves A D Fall down in vain G I had you on my mind D A I think I see you sometimes D G I smile when I think of that Betsy dress D A D And that night when we were a mess D G So fade D A Fade, fade away D G I'm gonna watch you fade away D A D Into remembrance day I saw you standing there Unraveling in the autumn air You're gonna ask if I'm dating again and I'll ask if you write much these days And you still laugh the same and we still laugh without shame but in between words, the silence ensues and I know, I'm losing you So fade Fade, fade away I'm gonna watch you fade away Into remembrance day If this is the last time we'll meet And it's strange how I'll never see Your life's familiar mystery that once unfolded for me So fade Fade, fade away I'm gonna watch you fade away Into remembrance day Into remembrance day Into remembrance day
