Slow Fade

Be careful little eyes what you see

It’s the second glance that ties your hands

As darkness pulls the strings

Be careful little feet where you go

For it’s the little feet behind you

That are sure to follow

It’s a slow fade

When you give yourself away

It’s a slow fade

When black and white are turned to gray

And thoughts invade, choices are made

A price will be paid

When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

It’s a slow fade

It’s a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear

When flattering leads to compromises

The end is always near

Be careful little lips what you say

For empty words and promises

Leave broken hearts astray

It’s a slow fade

When you give yourself away

It’s a slow fade

When black and white are turned to gray

And thoughts invade, choices are made

A price will be paid

When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands

Is shorter than you’re thinking

Be careful if you think you stand

You just might be sinking

It’s a slow fade

When you give yourself away

It’s a slow fade

When black and white are turned to gray

And thoughts invade, choices are made

A price will be paid

When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

Daddies never crumble in a day

Families never crumble in a day

Oh, be careful little eyes what you see

Oh, be careful little eyes what you see

For the Father up above is looking down in love

Oh, be careful little eyes what you see
