Faded Love

Patsy Cline · Dreaming: 16 Original Greats [2005]

As I look at the letter that you wrote to me

It's you that I am thinking of

As I read the lines that to me were so dear

I remember our faded love.



I miss you darlin' more and more everyday

As heaven would miss the stars above

With every heartbeat, I still think of you

And remember our faded love.



--- Instrumental ---



As I think of the past, all the pleasures that we had

As I watch the mating of the doves

It was in the springtime that you said goodbye

I remember our faded love.



I miss you darlin' more and more everyday

As heaven would miss the stars above

With every heartbeat, I still think of you

And remember our faded love.



And remember our faded love...
