In the light of day only Light doesn't fade Memory has never been my strongest suit But I swear that I can recall some dozen versions of you, for In the light of day only Light doesn't fade There was a time when we were so young There was a time we were so wild There was a time when we made up our minds Didn't we darling? But In the light of day Only light doesn't fade Every man that you've ever been I've been in love with him I fell in love with your picture, I fell in love with your name I fell in love with your flame that promised and promised To burn up all of my fear for me, but In the light of day only Light doesn't fade
