Faded Memories Lyrics

Faded photograph tucked away in a dusty drawer

Your smiling face a younger you from a life that's no more

Wrinkles etched upon my features a reflection of my pain

The weight of time and what I've lost a relentless driving rain

The old oak tree still stands tall but the leaves have turned to brown

A constant reminder of our love a promise we let down

I trace your image with my finger a silent tearful plea

Can love ever be rekindled beneath the faded memory

The porch swing creaks in the evening breeze swaying softly in the night

Haunted by the sound of your laughter a fading distant light

The echo of your goodbye still hangs heavy in the air

A constant weight upon my chest a burden I can't bear

The old oak tree still stands tall but the leaves have turned to brown

A constant reminder of our love a promise we let down

I trace your image with my finger a silent tearful plea

Can love ever be rekindled beneath the faded memory

Was it all a foolish dream a love that couldn't last?

Or is a part of you still here a whisper from the past?

Maybe someday I'll find the strength to let go and move on

But a piece of my heart will forever be beneath the setting sun

Where the old oak tree stands guard a sentinel of what used to be

A love that burned so brightly now just a memory

The old oak tree still stands tall but the leaves have turned to brown

A constant reminder of our love a promise we let down

I trace your image with my finger a silent tearful plea

Can love ever be rekindled beneath the faded memory
