[Verse 1]
I think I know the way, the story's gonna end
It's getting to the part I hate, when heartache closes in
The stage is set, It's time for me to leave
'Cause I don't wanna see the final scene

[Chorus]
Fade to blue
We didn't make it through
Let the curtain fall
And fade to blue

[Verse 2]
We played the part of lovers
Knew every line by heart
But sometimes love just can't erase
What's written in the stars
So before the bitter words come crashing down
Let's leave what's left, and the lights go out

[Chorus]
And fade to blue
We didn't make it through
There won't be a curtain call
Just fade to blue

[Verse 3]
Almost happy endings have no way of coming true
Once the feelings starts to fade to blue
We didn't make it through
So let the curtain fall
Just fade to blue

LeAnn Rimes

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (August 28, 1982) is a country singer who uses the stage name LeAnn Rimes. Born in Jackson, Mississippi she started performing at age 7 and had become a country star by age 13. Known for her vocals, many say she sounds a lot like Patsy Cline.

Rimes is a two-time Grammy winner and remains active in music. She’s gone through some troubles in the past few years, perhaps the result of such a young start in the business of music.
