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

Learned our lessons through the tears

Light a fire they can't put out

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

My father told me when I was just a child

Made memories we knew would never fade

(end)

Think of me if ever you're afraid."

My father told me when I was just a child

"Son, don't let it slip away"

The animals inside came out to play

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

When thunder clouds start pouring down

Hey, once upon a younger year

Don't forsake this life of yours.

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

One day my father—he told me

When I was just a kid I heard him say

"When you get older

Your wild heart will live for younger days

These are the nights that never die

My father told me
