Topic: Faded Dreams
I hope I'm not going overboard by posting this much, but the more I post, the stronger the passion for songwriting is re-emerging.
Any ways this song is about reflecting on how music affected me in my teens and early twenties and the feelings I have now looking back when I was in my prime and how now...I'm not. LOL
Faded Dreamsby KAP54
[G]I remember a time that was not long [C] [G]ago,when I would listen to songs on the radio.[Am7]
And as i'd [Am7]listen[Am]...my thoughts would glis[Am7]ten
[C]Listening to the golden [D]melodies...golden [G]memories
[D7]I remember how the [G]songs were sung with feelings true,[C]and [G]it seemed the songs were sung for you.
And the[Am7]...the harmonizing [Am]was so hypnotizing
[C]But now those days are gone they've [D]turned it seems,into [G]Faded Dreams[C] [G]
Chorus
[G]Faded dreams they come and take me [C]away.[G] [C]
[Am7]Down foggy streets down foggy [Am]lanes.
[C]Like fog rolling out to a [D]misty steam
Now theres only [G]Faded Dreams[C] [G]
[G]When I was young and my goals seemed far out of [C] [G]site,I would listen to songs in the [C]cold [G]of the [Am7]nite.
[Am7]The songs were soothing[Am]...so removing.[Am7]
[C]Moving all my lonely [D]thoughts and fears...all my [G]empty tears.
[D7]And I remember how they'd [G]build me up and make me strong
And [C]they,d[G] make me feel like I could do no wrong,But the...[Am7]the musics changing[Am],its rearranging[Am7]
[C]So now I sit back in my [D]faded jeans and listen to [G]Faded Dreams.[C] [G]
Chorus
[G]Faded Dreams they come and take me [C]away[G] [C]
[Am7]Down foggy streets down foggy [Am]lanes
[C]Like fog rolling out to a [D]misty stream
Now theres only [G]faded dreams.[C] [G]
Middle Eight
[G]Sometimes [B7]in my mind [C]I go back to [G]yesterdays time.
[C]I know it is a time I'll never see no [D]more.
To [G]look back on that time makes [B7]me feel good
Oh [C]Lordy I know I [G]know it should cause its the [C]time in my life I [D]dreamed my Faded [G]Dreams
Chorus
[G]Faded Dreams they come and take me [C]away[G] [C]
[Am7]Down foggy streets down foggy [Am]lanes.
[C]Like fog rolling out to a [D]misty steam.
Now theres only [G]Faded Dreams.[C] [G]
[C]Like a river flowing out to an [D]empty stream.
Now theres only [G]Faded Dreams[C] [G]
