He fades
Day by day

How he has held on so long to life I'll never know
Maybe there's someplace beyond
He doesn't wanna go?
I hope that he can hear us
When we say we love him so
Maybe there's someplace beyond
He doesn't wanna go?

He fades
Day by day

Goodbye so many times
We just don't know how long he'll stay
Next time that I leave
Could it be then he slips away?
I'm not the one in bed and yet
Somehow I feel so drained
Next time that I leave
Could it be then he slips away?

I've never felt an hour pass so fast
And yet so slow
He's all but gone and yet what's left
Refuses to let go
We're hoping for it now
Is that so bad? It feels so close
He's all but gone and yet what's left
Refuses to let go
