Traces
Emory Gordy Jr., Buddy Buie, J. R. Cobb
Faded photograph
Covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half
Memories in bits and 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
I close my eyes and say a prayer
In her heart she'll find
A trace of love still therе
Somewhere
Fadеd photograph
Covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half
Memories in bits and pieces
Traces of hope in the night
That she'll come back and dry
These traces of tears from my eyes
