| Fading Lights as performed by GENESIS: Phil Collins, Tony Banks & Mike Rutherford, 1991 Another time it might have been so different if only we could do it all again but now it's just another fading memory out of focus, though the outline still remains Far away, away, fading distant lights leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world and you know that these are the days of our lives remember Like the story that we wish was never ending We know sometime we must reach the final page still we carry on just pretending that there'll always be another day to go Far away, away, fading distant lights leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world and you know that these are the days of our lives remember Another chance hello, another goodbye and so many things we'll never see again days of life that seemed so unimportant seem to matter and to count much later on Far away, away, fading distant lights leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world and you know that these are the days of our lives remember |
| The song in MIDI file format you are listening to is "Fading Lights" by Genesis. This was the song that came to me and was unable to sing to him while I was holding him for the last time. |
