Faded Love
Eternal Echoes: Nostalgia and Longing in Sandy Kelly's Faded Love
Lyrics
As I look at the letters that you wrote to me
Reflecting on written letters from the past
It's you that I am thinkin' of
Expressing thoughts focused on a specific person
As I read the lines that, to me, were so dear
Valuing lines that held sentimental significance
I remember our faded love
Nostalgically recalling a love that has faded
I miss you darlin', more and more every day
Expressing a growing longing for a loved one
As heaven would miss the stars the above
Comparing the separation to the absence of stars in heaven
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
Continuing to think of the person with each heartbeat
And remember our faded love
Recalling the faded love from the past
As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had
Reflecting on past pleasures and experiences
As I watched the mating of the dove
Observing natural symbols, like the mating of doves
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
Recalling a goodbye during the springtime
I remember our faded love
Reminiscing about the faded love
I miss you darlin', more and more every day
Expressing an increasing yearning for the person
As heaven would miss the stars above
Using heavenly imagery to emphasize the magnitude of missing
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
Continuing to think of the person with every heartbeat
And remember our faded love
Recalling the faded love once again
And remember our faded love
Reiterating the memory of the faded love
