Vanishing

If I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life.

Surely I would.

Hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly.

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing.

I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood.

Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly.

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing.

Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence to grasp
And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Lord knows I would.

But now you're fading faster
Getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly.

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing.
