Well now you say you've found another man who does things to you that I can't   And that no matter what I do it's all over now   between me and you girl   But I can't believe what you say   No I can't believe what you say   'cause baby      CHORUS   I don't wanna fade away   Oh I don't wanna fade away   Tell me what can I do what can I say   Cause darlin' I don't wanna fade away      Well now you say that you've made up your mind   it's been such a long, long time since it's been good with us   And that somewhere back along the line you lost your love and I lost your trust   Now rooms that once were so bright are filled with the coming night, darlin'      CHORUS      You say it's not easy for you   And that you've been so lonely   While other girls go out doing what they want to do   You say that you miss the nights when we'd go out dancing   The days when you and I walked as two   Well girl I miss them too   Oh I swear that I do   Oh girl      Now baby I don't wanna be just another useless memory holding you tight   Or just some other ghost out on the street to whom you stop and politely speak   when you pass on by vanishing into the night   left to vanish into the night   No baby      CHORUS
