[Verse 1]
(Hey)
Once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play (Hey)
Hey, went face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memories we knew would never fade

[Pre-Chorus]
One day my father he told me
Son, don't let it slip away
He took me in his arms, I heard him say (Hey)
When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid

[Chorus]
He said, one day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

[Bridge]
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)

[Verse 2]
When thunderclouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
Carve your name into those shining stars
He said, go venture far beyond the shores
Don't forsake this life of yours
I'll guide you home no matter where you are

[Pre-Chorus]
One day my father he told me
Son, don't let it slip away
When I was just a kid, I heard him say
When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid

[Chorus]
He said, one day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

[Bridge]
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
Oooh, oooh
(Hey, hey)

[Outro]
These are the nights that never die
My father told me
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
Oooh, oooh
(Hey, hey)
Oooh, oooh
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
Oooh, oooh
(Hey, hey)
My father told me

Avicii

Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii (b. September 8, 1989 – † April 20, 2018), was a Swedish record producer and DJ who took the EDM scene by storm and arguably redefined the entire genre with releases “Levels” and “Wake Me Up.” Melodically gifted, he infused new sounds into the world of electronic music and transformed it into a universally recognizable genre.

Avicii’s name was derived from a discussion with his friend, who explained to him that Avichi was the lowest level of Buddhist hell. He chose the name because he liked the sound and his government name had already been taken on Myspace. Bergling collaborated with a wide array of artists in genres that touch every aspect of music. His musical success was proven with numerous multi-platinum releases as well as several number-one spots across charts globally.

Shortly after playing his 2016 Ultra Music Festival set, he announced that he would retire from live performances after the calendar year was up. Avicii’s sound was unique and his drive was untouchable, infusing his unique sound into his music.
