Traces

(Emory Gordy - James Cobb - Buddy Buie)



Faded photograph covered now with lines and creases

Tickets torn in half memories in bits and the pieces

Traces of love long ago that didn't work out right

Traces of love.



Ribbons from her hair souvenirs of days together

The ring she used to wear pages from an old love letter

Traces of love long ago that didn't work out right

Traces of love with me tonight.



You know I close my eyes and say a little prayer

That in his heart you'll find a trace of love still there somewhere.



--- Instrumental ---



Traces of home in the night that he'll come back and dry

These traces of love from my eyes, traces of love...
