Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I could recapture
All of the memories and bring them to life
Surely, I would hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me surviving the night?
You're fading out of my sight swiftly
[Verse 2]
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
Oh
[Verse 3]
I was so enraptured
No sensibility to open my eyes
I misunderstood, now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see, you're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside swiftly
[Verse 4]
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
Oh
[Verse 5]
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
[Verse 6]
Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence
To grasp
[Verse 7]
And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories and bring them to life, Lord knows I would
But now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see, taking the light
Letting the darkness inside swiftly
[Verse 8]
You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing
Oh
[Verse 9]
You're vanishing
Drifting so far away
Oh
Vanishing
Oh, yeah
Away
