Cody Landress-Gibson - Fade Lyrics

As we stood in your drive way, I knew this day would come
Too many nights in hospitals, you gave it good run
Held out another Christmas and my birthday
Time has come now for my heart to break

Memories come and they go and they fade
But I can still remember your laugh to this day
A little bit of whiskey helps numb the pain
Damn it would kill me, for you to see me this way

Daddy came outside with a crack in his voice
He said he's gone now son, he ain't hurting no more
With stubborn pride I tried to hold on tight
But seeing her by your bedside would make the hardest man cry

Memories come and they go and they fade
But I can still remember your laugh to this day
A little bit of whiskey helps numb the pain
Damn it would kill me, for you to see me this way

It's decoration day, I guess you could say
It's been three years and I ain't stepped foot by your grave
It ain't that I don't love you, hell I miss you everyday
I can't face the truth we all wind up in a hillside grave

Memories come and they go and they fade
But I can still remember your laugh to this day
A little bit of whiskey helps numb the pain
Damn it would kill me, for you to see me this way
