[Verse 1]
Prayin' for a miracle
Still she looks so beautiful
Smilin' through all the pain
She'd never been in love before
Starin' at the kitchen floor
Smilin' through all the pain

[Verse 2]
Feelin' like a queen tonight
Dancin' in that new moonlight
Smilin' through all the pain
I wanna build a wall for her
Climb in and wait for a cure
So she can be a child again

[Chorus 1]
Don't fade away
Don't fade away
Don't fade away
'Cause I need you here
'Cause I need you here

[Verse 3]
Graffiti on the highway wall
On the way to the funeral
Says "Everything is meant to be"
Callin' on a good old friend
Empty bottle for a broken man
I never thought that I'd see
[Chorus 2]
You fade away
You fade away
You fade away
And I need you here
'Cause I need you here
I need you here (fade away, fade away fade away)
I need you here (fade away, fade away fade away, fade away)
I need you here
