Fade Away lyrics

If I died today
I wonder what you'd say
Would you criticize my life
Or smile and wave goodbye
If I died today
Would you be afraid
Would you be thankful for our time
Or would you hang your head and cry
Cause girl I know it could go either way

Baby, baby don't you look back
All your tears won’t change your past
They'll only drown the smiles on your face
And maybe baby all that we had
Was never ever meant to last
So let me go, but don't you let me fade away

Don't you let me fade

If you close a door, swim for the shore
Walk straight into the sun and let the healing horses run
Cause it won't do you any good to bleed
Another tear on what became of me

Baby, baby don't you look back
All your tears won’t change your past
They'll only drown the smiles on your face
And maybe baby all that we had
Was never ever meant to last
So let me go, but don't you let me fade away
