Before the colors fade from view I sit alone remembering you And all those things you'd say and do And the feel of being next to you The angles of your sweet, old face The voice that filled my life with grace I walk as through a sacred place Before the colors fade Everybody comes and then they go Everybody fades and glows Everybody falls and climbs Some people go before their time But no one sparkled quite like you I'm gonna miss you through and through I'll visit every shade and hue Before the colors fade Tonight I'll read you like a book Every twist and turn you took Every song and every look All you gave, all you took In time you might seem like a dream But until then and in between I'll linger on each sacred scene Before the colors fade Repeat chorus
