The Nights

He said one day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die Once upon a younger year When all our shadows disappeared The animals inside came out to play When face to face with all our fears Learned our lessons through the tears Made memories we knew would never fade One day my father he told me Girl don't let it slip away He took me in his arms I heard him say When you get older Your wild heart will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid He said one day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die My father told me These are the nights When thunderclouds start pouring down Light a fire they can't put out Carve your name into these shinning stars He said go venture far beyond the shores Don't forsake this life of yours I'll guide you home no matter where you are One day my father he told me Son don't let it slip away When I was just a kid I heard him say When you get older Your wild heart will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid He said one day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die My father told me my father told me These are the nights these are the nights these are the nights That never die He said one day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die
