Fading Gorgeous

Midnight whispers, shadows fall

Your love was once my all in all

Now the mirror tells the truth

Time's stolen your golden youth

Oh, the years roll like thunder

Leaving us torn asunder

Fading gorgeous, like roses in the rain

Beauty's leaving, but the heart remains

Once a fire, now just ember glow

Darling, why'd you have to go

Silk and diamonds, now just dust

Memories rust, but love still must

Hold on tight to what we knew

Before the light faded from you

Time's a thief in the dead of night

Stealing stars, dimming light

Fading gorgeous, like roses in the rain

Beauty's leaving, but the heart remains

Once a fire, now just ember glow

Darling, why'd you have to go

Oh, my love, though time may steal

What we had was always real

Fading gorgeous, but never gone

In my soul, you still shine on.
