It all Fades Away
Stan Rogers
An unfinished_ conversation__ In a picture_ of_ the pa-ast__ Like the one that I_ just found_ of you__ Among many_ that_ I had__ I remember_ I saw you laughing__ With my camera close_ at ha-and__ We were minutes_ from_ a quarrel__ And_ forever_ from understand____-ding__ You were just a bit_ excited__ and a little_ more_ displea-eased__ How you hated_ candid pictures__ When I took them_ just to tease__ Then you told__ me I was crazy__ I said_ I_ was born_ that way-ay__ And we must have said_ those same two lines_ Twenty_ times_ a day_ Now_ I'd swear_ you don't_ remember_ why_ we parted___ Just like_ I_ cannot_ remember why_ we loved____ __ Ain't it funny_ how the past__ Makes the better_ memories last__ 'Cause_ the pain_ fades_ away____ -way_ it_ all_ fades_ away An unfinished_ conversation__ That I'd somehow__ like_ to end__ If I just knew where to find_ you__ Or where a letter_ could be sent__ But I know_ I'd not be welcome__ I know you'd nearly die__ All_ conversa_-tions_ fade away__ When the love-light leaves the eye__ Now_ I'd swear_ you don't_ remember_ why_ we parted___ Just like_ I_ cannot_ remember why_ we loved____ __ Ain't it funny_ how the past__ Makes the better_ memories last__ 'Cause_ the pain_ fades_ away____ -way_ it_ all_ fades_ away
