| It’s been so long that I have felt I’d grown
|
| And that I left your home to become a man.
|
| It’s been so long that childish dreams have gone,
|
| That I have felt so lone to understand
|
| That I really miss you,
|
| Time I shared with you,
|
| Miss your loving tender touch.
|
| Your days are getting colder
|
| And I’m back to hold you —
|
| You’re the one I need so much!
|
| Chorus:
|
| Fade away, please don’t fade,
|
| Don’t disappear, I fear…
|
| I’ve lost my way,
|
| I’ve lost myself without you here.
|
| Don’t fade away, Mum, don’t fade away!
|
| I’d rise and fall to rise again.
|
| I would crawl to fly again.
|
| Challenged world and won the fight.
|
| ‘Cos o n the roads that I would walk,
|
| At the doors that I would knock
|
| I could feel you by my side.
|
| Do you know I miss you,
|
| Time I shared with you,
|
| You’re the one I need so much!
|
| Chorus:
|
| Fade away, please don’t fade, don’t disappear, I fear…
|
| I’ve lost my way, I’ve lost myself without you here.
|
| Don’t fade away, Mum, don’t fade away!
|
| I’ve lost my way, I’ve lost myself without you here.
|
| Don’t fade away, Mum, don’t fade away! |
