Verse 1
Once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to
play
Went face to face with all our
fears
Learned our lessons through the
tears
Made memories we knew would
never fade
Pre-chorus
One day my father, he told me
"Son, don't let it slip away"
He took me in his arms, I heard
him say,
"When you get older
Your wild heart will live for
younger days
B B*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
[Chorus] (single strum)
He said, "One day you'll leave
this world behind
So live a life you will
remember."
My father told me when I was
just a child
These are the nights that never
die
My father told me
Instrumental
Verse 2
When thunderclouds start pouring
down
Light a fire they can't put out
Carve your name into those
shining stars
He said, "Go venture far beyond
the shores.
Don't forsake this life of
yours.
I'll guide you home no matter
where you are."
Pre-chorus
One day my father, he told me
"Son, don't let it slip away"
When I was just a kid, I heard
him say,
"When you get older
Your wild heart will live for
younger days
B B*
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
[Chorus] (single strum)
He said, "One day you'll leave
this world behind
So live a life you will
remember."
My father told me when I was
just a child
These are the nights that never
die
My father told me
Interlude
These are the nights that never
die
My father told me
