Once upon a younger year

When all our shadows disappeared

The animals inside came out to play

Went face to face with all our fears

Learned our lessons through the tears

Made memories we knew we never fade

One day my father he told me

Go don't never slip away

He took me in his arms I heard him say

When you get older

Your wild heart will live for younger days

Think of me if ever you're afraid

He said one day you'll leave this world behind

So live a life you will remember

My father told me when I was just a child

These are the nights that never die

My father told me

When thunder clouds start pouring down

Light a fire they can't put out

Carve your name into those shining stars

He said go venture far beyond these shores

Don't forsake this life of yours

I'll guide you home no matter where you are

One day my father he told me

Go don't never slip away

He took me in his arms I heard him say

When you get older

Your wild heart will live for younger days

Think of me if ever you're afraid

He said one day you'll leave this world behind

So live a life you will remember

My father told me when I was just a child

These are the nights that never die

My father told me

Oh

These are the nights that never die

Oh

These are the nights that never die

My father said one day you'll leave this world behind

So live a life you will remember

My father told me when I was just a child

Nights that never die

My father told me

Oh

These are the nights that never die

My father told me
