Fading Traces Lyrics

Time slips away so swiftly

Watching the clock's hands race

I clung to the moments tightly

Fearing our love's fading trace

With eyes closed, I sketched your face

But the lines grew fainter, hard to retrace

Why do only the good memories stay

Even as I wept, I longed to hold you that way

Our days together have come to an end

So I'll cherish the sweet memories we penned

The path home leaves a bittersweet ache

Sitting on that bench, my heart would break

You'd rest your head upon my lap

I'd stroke your hair, a tender trap

Whispering love into your ear

Those moments I still hold so dear

Why do only the good memories stay

Even as I wept, I longed to hold you that way

Our days together have come to an end

So I'll cherish the sweet memories we penned

When the night falls, and all are asleep

I dial your number, the pattern I keep

No matter how I steel my heart

It's still not easy to be apart

Why did it have to be you in the end

With a wounded heart, why couldn't I just let you go, my friend

I never thought our last would come so soon

Perhaps it's better you left, my love, my moon
