Roger Bonner - Faded Love Lyrics

We used to dance beneath the stars, in that quiet town
Every whisper of the night, made the world slow down
Your laughter was a melody, like a summer breeze
Now those echoes are just shadows, lost among the trees

Time has a way of changing things, like the tide on the shore
What we had now feels like a dream, just a little bit more
I still see your face in the morning light
But the warmth has gone, faded out of sight

Oh, faded love, like a photograph in the rain
Memories slipping through my fingers, a bittersweet refrain
We were fire and ice, in a dance so tender and so wild
But now we're just echoes, of a love that's lost and reconciled
Oh, faded love, we're just shadows in the night
Wandering through a memory, that's slowly losing light

I walk the streets we used to roam, in a silent crowd
Every corner holds a whisper, but the words aren't loud
I find pieces of our story, in the old songs we sang
But the notes are out of tune, and the chords have lost their clang

Every promise now feels like a ghost, haunting what we knew
The colors of our yesterdays have all turned shades of blue
I still reach for the warmth that's no longer there
But the space beside me is empty, no one to share

Oh, faded love, like a photograph in the rain
Memories slipping through my fingers, a bittersweet refrain
We were fire and ice, in a dance so tender and so wild
But now we're just echoes, of a love that's lost and reconciled
Oh, faded love, we're just shadows in the night
Wandering through a memory, that's slowly losing light

And if I could turn back time, I'd paint the sky a different hue
Hold onto moments that slipped away, and try to find a clue
But the pages keep on turning, the story's written in the past
All that's left are faded lines, and a love that couldn't last

Oh, faded love, like a photograph in the rain
Memories slipping through my fingers, a bittersweet refrain
We were fire and ice, in a dance so tender and so wild
But now we're just echoes, of a love that's lost and reconciled
Oh, faded love, we're just shadows in the night
Wandering through a memory, that's slowly losing light

So here's to what we were, in the twilight of our hearts
A love that burned so brightly, now only a work of art
Oh, faded love, I'll carry you through the years
As a whisper in the wind, and a reminder of our tears
