Avicii - The Nights

One day my father—he told me

Hey, when face to face with all our fears

He took me in his arms, I heard him say

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind

Light a fire they can't put out

Learned our lessons through the tears

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind

My father told me when I was just a child

(end)

Think of me if ever you're afraid."

Made memories we knew would never fade

My father told me when I was just a child

"Son, don't let it slip away"

"Son, don't let it slip away."

When thunder clouds start pouring down

The animals inside came out to play

When I was just a kid I heard him say

"When you get older

Your wild heart will live for younger days

Don't forsake this life of yours.

I'll guide you home no matter where you are."

One day my father—he told me

Hey, once upon a younger year

These are the nights that never die

My father told me
