Lyrics
(Verse 1)
When I was just a boy, I'd look up to the sky,
Dreamin' of those stars, the great ones passing by.
Posters on my wall, records playing every night,
Now the world feels smaller, their glow fades from sight.
(Chorus)
My heroes are all dying, but their stories still remain,
Echoes of their voices through the joy and through the pain.
Even as the pages of time continue to turn,
In my heart, those legends will forever burn.
(Verse 2)
Rock and roll, the movies, heroes on the field,
They stood tall and mighty, their spirits wouldn't yield.
Some sang about love, some fought for what's right,
Now, one by one, they're fading from the light.
(Bridge)
Time's a restless river, flowing to the sea,
Carrying my heroes, yet they're always here with me.
Every wrinkle, every scar tells tales of days gone by,
Of love and loss, of hellos and goodbyes.
(Verse 3)
I've seen the brightest stars fall from the night,
But in my memories, they still shine bright.
The world keeps changing, and youth slips away,
But I'll raise a glass to their songs today.
(Chorus)
My heroes are all dying, yet they'll never truly go,
In the legacy they left and the seeds they chose to sow.
As the sun sets slow and twilight fades to gray,
Their music lives forever; that's how they'll stay.
(Outro)
Here's to my heroes, the dreams they inspired,
Gone from the stage, but never retired.
