Fading Away
Hall And Oates · Our Kind Of Soul [2004]
Like smoke from a cigarette, it's fading away
Fading away, fading away
It hurts me to think about those times when there was no doubt
Like a cloud when the sun comes out, it's fading away
Fading away, it's fading away
You've changed and it's showing, baby
You've changed and it's showing, I wanna know
Where did our love go?
If I could have just one wish, if things hadn't got to this
Like the memory of our first kiss, it's fading away
Fading away, fading away
Like smoke from your cigarette, a dream that you soon forget
It started from the day we met, it's fading away
Fading away, it's fading away
And you've changed and it's showing, baby
You've changed and it's showing, I wanna know
Where did our love go?
I wanna know if you're alright
I just want you to be alright, alright
You've changed and it's showing
And you've changed and it's showing, I wanna know
And where did our love go?
You've changed and it's showing, oh it's showing
You've changed and it's showing, I wanna know
Where did our love go?
'Cause it's fading away, alright
It's fading away, ooh it's fading away
Fading away
You've changed, alright baby
I understand, everybody changes
But it's fading, gotta understand
That it's fading away, are you alright?
