Tail Lights Fade

Watching the tail lights fade, my heart holds on to yesterday

She moved on to a new state, left behind the memories we made

Standing on her drive, I watched her silhouette fade away

Never looked back, her car disappeared into the night

Chasing a new dawn, chasing a brand new light

She found a new voice, a whisper in the wind

A new look on life, where does she begin?

Far away from here, where no one knows her name

Leaving all her shadows, shedding all her pain

She shines bright like the sunlight, warming my lonely days

Gone away from here, never looked back her way

Her pretty little heart loved me, like no one else could

Now she’s chasing dreams, in a place that she never knew

Hold on to her memory, in the quiet of the night

A silent prayer lingers, hoping she’s alright

Watching tail lights drive, I stand alone and stare

Wishing her well, wishing she was here

She’s found her way, a new life to embrace

I stay behind, holding on to her gentle grace

Watching the tail lights fade, into the future bright

She’s gone for now, but she’s shining in the light
