There was something in the desert
There was someplace wild and green
And a child in a village I passed through
There are places that I've travelled
And so many things I've seen
And it all fades away but you
I was sliding down a mountain
I was burning in the sun
I was crying with amazement at the view
I was capturing a moment
But when all is said and done,
Well it all fades away but you
It all fades away
It all fades away
It all fades away but you.
I have sailed across the oceans,
Passed the cities and the farms
On a never-ending quest for something new
And the only thing that mattered
Was the four days in your arms
And it all fades away but you
It all fades away
It all fades away
It all fades away but you
Ah
Ah
There is one thing that's eternal
That cannot be torn apart
There is one thing that remains forever true
Past the thinking, past the breathing
Past the beating of my heart
It will all fade away but you
It all fades away
It all fades away
It all fades away but you
It all fades away
It all fades away
It all fades away but you
But you
But you
You
