The Nights
Avicii Lyrics

Hey, once upon a younger year
In my younger years, I was carefree and had no fear.

When all our shadows disappeared
I was free from all my insecurities during those carefree days.

The animals inside came out to play
I was more open and expressive during those times.

Hey, when face to face with all our fears
But as I grew older, I realized that I couldn't get away from my fears.

Learned our lessons through the tears
I learned from my mistakes and the experiences that made me cry.

Made memories we knew would never fade
I cherished the memories that were created during my younger years.

One day my father, he told me
One day, my father gave me some important advice.

"Son, don't let it slip away"
My father told me not to let go of the passion and joy that I felt during my younger years.

He took me in his arms, I heard him say
My father embraced me and spoke to me with love and affection.

"When you get older
My father told me that as I grew older,

Your wild heart will live for younger days
I will always have a youthful spirit and I should cherish that spirit.

Think of me if ever you're afraid"
My father told me to always remember his words and that he would be there for me if I ever needed him.

He said, "One day, you'll leave this world behind
My father knew that one day, I would have to leave this world.

So live a life you will remember"
My father told me to live a life that was memorable and fulfilling.

My father told me when I was just a child
These were the wise words my father imparted to me when I was still young.

When thunder clouds start pouring down
During difficult times,

Light a fire they can't put out
I should strive to be resilient and persevere.

Carve your name into those shinning stars
I should make my mark in the world and be remembered for doing so.

He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores
My father told me to not limit myself and to explore the world.

Don't forsake this life of yours
I should not waste my life and should make the most of it.

I'll guide you home no matter where you are"
My father promised to support and guide me no matter where I went in life.

These are the nights that never die
Those carefree and memorable nights will always live on in my heart.

My father told me
These are the words that my father imparted to me and that I will always carry with me.

These are the nights that never die
My father reminded me that these memories will always be with me, no matter where life takes me.

My father told me
These are the words that my father imparted to me and that I will always carry with me.
