Lyrics The Nights - Avicii

The Nights

Hey, once upon a younger year,
When all our shadows disappeared,
The animals inside came out to play.
Hey, when face to face with all our fears,
Learned our lessons through the tears,
Made memories we knew would never fade.
One day my father, he told me,
«Son, don't let it slip away».
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
«When you get older,
Your wild life will live for younger days,
Think of me if ever you're afraid».
He said, «One day you'll leave this world behind,
So live a life you will remember».
My father told me when I was just a child,
«These are the nights that never die».
My father told me
When thunder clouds start pouring down,
Light a fire they can't put out,
Carve your name into those shinning stars.
He said, «Go adventure far beyond these shores.
Don't forsake this life of yours,
I'll guide you home, no matter where you are».
One day my father, he told me,
«Son, don't let it slip away».
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
«When you get older,
Your wild life will live for younger days,
Think of me if ever you're afraid».
He said, «One day you'll leave this world behind,
So live a life you will remember».
My father told me when I was just a child,
«These are the nights that never die».
My father told me
«These are the night that never die».
My father told me
Hey, hey!
