Before the Tan Fades Away

By 

Christopher DeRoche

It feels like your slipping,

And moving away from me,

The air is getting colder,

And my solitude grows,

But I’m tightly gripping

Relax and just let her be,

I long to only hold her,

And everyone knows.

What happened to summer?

Blue skies and full of dreams,

Help me to remember,

All those sun-kissed memories.

Can we fix this?

Are you willing to try?

Can we make it?

Before we say goodbye

It seems you don’t have the time for me

And it always goes your way

I’m trying to be patient

But you keep pushing me away

I’m living off the photographs

And trinkets from our good times

Am I just living in the past?

My future is foggy and I don’t know why.

What happened to summer?

Blue skies and full of dreams,

Help me to remember,

All those sun-kissed memories.

Can we fix this?

Are you willing to try?

Can we make it?

Before we say goodbye
