Avicii - The Nights (Lyrics)

[00:02.53] Once upon a younger year,

[00:03.95] When all our shadows disappeared,

[00:05.81] The animals inside came out to play.

[00:09.54] Went face to face with all our fears,

[00:11.66] Learned our lessons through the tears,

[00:13.51] Made memories we knew would never fade.

[00:16.70] One day my father—he told me,

[00:18.83] "Son, don't let it slip away."

[00:21.21] He took me in his arms, I heard him say,

[00:24.40] "When you get older

[00:26.00] Your wild heart will live for younger days.

[00:28.91] Think of me if ever you're afraid."

[00:32.37] He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind.

[00:35.82] So, live a life you will remember."

[00:39.81] My father told me when I was just a child,

[00:43.54] "These are the nights that never die."

[00:46.72] My father told me,

[01:18.48] "When thunder clouds start pouring down

[01:20.34] Light a fire they can't put out,

[01:22.19] Carve your name into those shining stars."

[01:25.38] He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores.

[01:27.77] Don't forsake this life of yours.

[01:29.62] I'll guide you home no matter where you are."

[01:33.08] One day my father—he told me,

[01:34.96] "Son, don't let it slip away."

[01:37.07] When I was just a kid I heard him say,

[01:40.52] "When you get older

[01:42.11] Your wild heart will live for younger days.

[01:44.78] Think of me if ever you're afraid."

[01:48.48] He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind.

[01:51.94] So, live a life you will remember."

[01:55.66] My father told me when I was just a child

[01:59.66] "These are the nights that never die."

[02:03.10] My father told me,

[02:15.00] "These are the nights that never die."

[02:18.15] My father told me.

[02:48.76] My father told me.
