In the quiet of the night

I'm lost in thoughts a silent fight

Faded memories come alive

Like echoes in an empty room

I see the faces that once knew

The laughter and the tears we shared

But now they're drifting through

The haze of time so far so rare

The touch of a hand a gentle smile

Now just a phantom in my mind

I try to hold on but they fade a while

These memories that I can't define

And I wonder where the time has gone

How did it slip away so fast

These faded memories they won't be gone

They're etched in my heart they'll always last

Faded memories like a worn-out photograph

Colors fading but the story remains

In the corners of my heart they still hold their place

Though time has passed they'll never fade away

Faded memories a melody in the wind

Playing softly reminding me again

Of the love and the life that once we had

And I'll carry them wherever I am

I walk down the familiar street

The places we used to meet

The scent of the air it still lingers there

Bringing back the memories we held so dear

The conversations that we had

The dreams we chased the goals we set

Now they're like stars that have fallen down

But their light still shines within me yet

I close my eyes and I can see

The moments that will always be

The first kiss the last goodbye

All the in-betweens that made me cry

And I wonder where the time has gone

How did it slip away so fast

These faded memories they won't be gone

They're etched in my heart they'll always last

Faded memories like a worn-out photograph

Colors fading but the story remains

In the corners of my heart they still hold their place

Though time has passed they'll never fade away

Faded memories a melody in the wind

Playing softly reminding me again

Of the love and the life that once we had

And I'll carry them wherever I am

As the night turns into day

These memories will stay

Faded but not forgotten

In my heart forevermore
