[Verse 1]
I remember you so clearly
The first one through the door
I return to find you drifting
Too far from the shore

[Verse 2]
I remember feeling this way
You can lose it without knowing
You wake up and you don't notice
Which way the wind is blowing

[Chorus]
So don't fade
No, don't fade on me

[Verse 3]
You were the one who made things different
You were the one who took me in
You were the one thing I could count on
Above all, you were my friend

[Chorus]
So don't fade
Don't fade on me

[Verse 4]
Well, your clothes hang on a wire
And the sun is overhead
But today you are too weary
To even leave your bed

[Verse 5]
Was it love that took you under?
Or did you know too much?
Was it something you could picture
But never could quite touch?

[Chorus]
Don't fade
No, don't fade on me

[Chorus]
So don't fade
Don't fade on me

Tom Petty

Thomas Earl “Tom” Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch.

He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continued to host sold-out shows right up until his death at the age of 66. Throughout his career, Petty and his collaborators have sold 60 million albums. In 2002, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
