Fadeaway

Rick Nelson · Best Of 1963-75 [1990]

(D. Larden, J. DeWitt White)



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...
