Hey, once uponEm a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animDals inside came out to playEm
Hey, when facEme to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memDories
we knew would never fadeEm
One day my fatCher he told me,
"Son, don't letG it slip away"
He tookD me in his arms
I heard him sayEm,
"When you get oldCer
Your wild life
will liveG for younger days
ThinDk of me if ever you're afraid."
He said, "One dayC
you'll leave this world behinGd
So live a lifeD
you will rememEmber."
My father toldC me
when I was just a childG
These are the nightDs
that never dieEm
My father told me
C|G|D|EmD
C|G|D|Em
C|G|D|EmD
C|G|D|EmD
When thunEmder clouds
start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
CarvDe your name into
those shinning starEms
He said, "Go venture far
beyond the shores.
Don't forsake this life of yours.
I'll guidDe you home no matter
where you areEm."
One day my fatCher he told me,
"Son, don't letG it slip away."
When I wDas just a kid
I heard him sayEm,
"When you get oldCer
Your wild life
will liveG for younger days
ThinkD of me if ever you're afraid."
He said, "OneC day
you'll leave this world behinGd
So live a lifeD
you will rememEmber."
My father toldC me
when I was just a chilGd
These are the nighDts
that never dieEm
My father told me
C|G|D|EmD
These are the nighDts
