It’s been so long that I have felt I’d grown
And that I left your home to become a man.
It’s been so long that childish dreams have gone,
That I have felt so lone to understand
That I really miss you,
Time I shared with you,
Miss your loving tender touch.
Your days are getting colder
And I’m back to hold you -
You’re the one I need so much!
Fade away, please don’t fade,
Don’t disappear, I fear...
I’ve lost my way,
I’ve lost myself without you here.
Don’t fade away, Mum, don’t fade away!
I’d rise and fall to rise again.
I would crawl to fly again.
Challenged world and won the fight.
‘Cos o n the roads that I would walk,
At the doors that I would knock
I could feel you by my side.
Do you know I miss you,
Time I shared with you,
You’re the one I need so much!
Fade away, please don’t fade, don’t disappear, I fear...
I’ve lost my way, I’ve lost myself without you here.
Don’t fade away, Mum, don’t fade away!
I’ve lost my way, I’ve lost myself without you here.
Don’t fade away, Mum, don’t fade away!
