What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

FADED LOVE

As I look at the letters
That you wrote to me
It's you that I am thinking of

As I read the lines
That to me were so dear
I remember our faded love

I miss you darlin'
More and more everyday
As Heaven would miss
The stars above

With every heartbeat
I still think of you
And remember our faded love

I think of the past
And all the pleasures we had
As I watch the mating of the doves

It was in the springtime
That you said goodbye
And I remember our faded love

I miss you darlin' more
And more every day
As Heaven would
Miss the stars above

With every heartbeat
I still think of you
And remember our faded love
And remember our faded love
