the nights lyrics – avicii

hey once upon a younger year
when all our shadows disappeared
the animals inside came out to play
hey when face to face with all our fears
learned our lessons through the tears
made memories we knew would never fade

one day my father—he told me
son dont let it slip away
he took me in his arms i heard him say

when you get older
your wild life will live for younger days
think of me if ever youre afraid.

he said one day youll 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

when thunder clouds start pouring down
light a fire they cant put out
carve your name into those shinning stars
he said go venture far beyond the shores.
dont forsake this life of yours.
ill guide you home no matter where you are.

one day my father—he told me
son dont let it slip away.
when i was just a kid i heard him say

when you get older
your wild life will live for younger days
think of me if ever youre afraid.

he said one day youll 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

these are the nights that never die
my father told me…
