Fadeaway
Rick Nelson · Best Of 1963-75 [1990]
Why does it have to be tomorrow
I'd like to stay here just one more day
I haven't got the time you need to borrow
So I'll give you all I got
Though I haven't got a lot
And you know the things you love most fadeaway.
Sometimes the things that you love most fadeaway
Like a shadow dissapearing in the night
Sometimes the things that you love most fadeaway
But now is not the right time
'Cause loving you would only bring us both a lot of pain.
Don't let the morning come between us
We'll always be together anyway
Memories can never really leave us
So I'll give you all I got
Though I haven't got a lot
And you know the things you love most fadeaway.
Sometimes the things that you love most fadeaway
Like a shadow dissapearing in the night
Sometimes the things that you love most fadeaway
But now is not the right time
'Cause loving you would only bring us both a lot of pain.
Sometimes the things that you love most fadeaway
Like a shadow dissapearing in the night
Sometimes the things that you love most fadeaway
But now is not the right time
'Cause loving you would only bring us both a lot of pain...
