Subject: ADD: Faded Love
Hi - we can usually come up with lyrics, especially for folk music. Sheet music's pretty hard to come by if it's still within copyright. Click here for a MIDI of Faded Love. -Joe Offer- Faded Love (by John Wills and Bob Wills)
[Made famous by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys Recorded by many artists, Elvis, Patsy Cline, Ray Price, Johnny Rodrigues, Willie Nelson and a host of others.]
As I look at the letters 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 dove It was in the springtime when 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
Here's a quote from Bob Wills in Sing Your Heart Out, Countyr Boy:
I came from a family of fiddlers, and this song was originally an old fiddle tune that had been in the family for years. My father John wills taught me the tune, and it was just a matter of putting words to it. My younger brother Billy Jack helped me with the words.
