Before The Colors Fade

[Chorus]

Before the colors fade from view

I sit alone remembering you

And all those things you'd say and do

And the feel of being next to you

The angles of your sweet, old face

The voice that filled my life with grace

I walk as through a sacred place

Before the colors fade

[Verse]

Everybody comes and then they go

Everybody fades and glows

Everybody falls and climbs

Some people go before their time

But no one sparkled quite like you

I'm gonna miss you through and through

I'll visit every shade and hue

Before the colors fade

Tonight I'll read you like a book

Every twist and turn you took

Every song and every look

All you gave, all you took

In time you might seem like a dream

But until then and in between

I'll linger on each sacred scene

Before the colors fade

[Chorus]
