[Verse 1]
Faded photograph
Covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half
Memories in bits and pieces
[Chorus]
Traces of love long ago
That didn't work out right
Traces of love
[Verse 2]
Ribbons from her hair
Souvenirs of days together
The ring she used to wear
Pages from an old love letter
[Chorus]
Traces of love long ago
That didn't work out right
Traces of love with me tonight
[Verse 3]
I close my eyes and say a prayer
That in her heart she'll find
A trace of love still there
Somewhere, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Traces of hope in the night
That she'll come back and dry
These traces of tears from my eyes
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah
