Behind the Lyrics
Wendell Rocky Adams · In his own words
“Fade to Smile” is my farewell song. I’d finally created the glam rock album I’d always wanted to make, but I didn’t know whether I’d ever make another. I wanted the closing lyrics to acknowledge that possibility—to be both a celebration of the journey and a sad goodbye.
If this is it, let’s go out grinnin’.

Lyrics by Wendell Rocky Adams
[Intro]
One last night…
Yeah… before the sun comes up…
[Verse 1]
Bottles roll across the floor
Room’s torn up — we want more
Mirror fog, heat still high
Runnin’ low but feelin’ alive
[Verse 2]
Sirens fade, Strip goes dark
Still lightin’ up every spark
Champagne spill, leather torn
Livin’ like we won’t see dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
Lipstick stare, don’t look back
We don’t care where we’re at
Burnin’ fast, outta time
One last shot before the line
[Chorus]
Fade to smile — scream it out!
Laugh out loud while it burns out
No regrets — run that mile
Crash and burn… but we fade to smile
Fade to smile… raise it high
Turn the pain into neon light
If it’s over, let it go wild
We go out grinnin’… fade to smile
[Verse 3]
Spotlight shakes, curtain falls
Still screamin’ through it all
One more chord, one last line
We ride it out one more time
[Bridge]
Slow it down… feel it rise…
See that fire in our eyes…
Not done yet… one last ride…
We burn it out tonight…
[Final Chorus]
Fade to smile! (Fade to smile!)
Fade to smile! (Fade to smile!)
Laugh out loud while it burns out!
No regrets — scream it out!
Fade to smile! (Raise it high!)
Fade to smile! (One last time!)
Crash and burn… go out wild!
We go out grinnin’… FADE TO SMILE!!!
[Outro]
Fade to smile…
Fade to smile…
Yeah!
