Lyrics
As I look at the letters 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
As 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 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
