Slow Fade

Intro:     (3x)

Verse 1
                                                    
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

Chorus
                                  
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
                            
It's a slow fade when black and white have 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

Verse 2
Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

Chorus 2
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day         

Bridge
                                                              
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

Chorus 3
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
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
                                  Gbma7/
For the Father up above is looking down in love
                                                  
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
