If I could recapture all of the memories And bring them to life, surely I would Hear the distant laughter Wasn't it you and me surviving the night? You're fading out of my sight swiftly You're vanishing, drifting away You're vanishing, oh I was so enraptured No sensibility to open my eyes I misunderstood, now you're fading faster It's suddenly hard to see You're taking the light Letting the shadows inside swiftly You're vanishing, drifting away You're vanishing, oh You're vanishing, drifting away You're, oh Reaching out into the distance Searching for spirits of the past Just a trace of your existence To grasp, grasp And if somehow I could recapture All of the memories And bring them to life Lord knows I would But now you're fading faster Getting so hard to see Taking the light Letting the darkness inside Swiftly You're vanishing, drifting away You're vanishing, oh You're vanishing, drifting so far away Oh, you're vanishing Oh, away Thank you. This last song was originally recorded by the incomparable Aretha Franklin.
