Faded Love
Vic Damone · Other Songs - Vic Damone
That you wrote to me,
It's you that I'm thinking of,
As I read the lines
That to me were so sweet,
I remember our faded love.
I miss you, darling,
More and more, every day,
As heaven would miss the stars above,
With every heartbeat
I still think of you,
And remember our faded love.
I think of the past
And all the pleasures 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, darling
More and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat
I still think of you
And remember our faded love
