Brenda Lee Lyrics
"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...
