Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think you fell off of your cloud today
You didn’t see it coming
Or did you?
You tried to please everybody
But the sweet breeze swept you away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The sun goes down on a good day
Tomorrow is still an unknown
You think you’re all alone in this place
I think you’re crazy
‘Cause I still love you, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, don’t fade away, baby
Blowing in the wind is getting harder to do
Don’t count the days as they leave you
Count them as you find a day new
Don’t fade away
Never fade

[Verse 2]
Hard to breathe, nobody knows it’s you
Somebody blows your candle out
You wore a mask
Now that’s broken, too
Everybody else was everything to you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The sun goes down on a good day
Tomorrow is still an unknown
You think everybody wants a fight
I think you’re crazy
‘Cause I still love you, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, don’t fade away, baby
Blowing in the wind is getting harder to do
Don’t count the days as they leave you
Count them as you find a day new
Don’t fade away
Never fade

[Bridge]
I think you fell out of the sky today
I think you know it’s true
You’ve seen the world
Now all you see is me
Tell me now, baby
What are you gonna do?

[Final Chorus]
Oh, don’t fade away, baby
Blowing in the wind is getting harder to do
Don’t count the days as they leave you
Count them as you find a day new
Don’t fade away
Don’t fade away
Don’t fade away
Never fade
