Intro: Verse 1: Faded photographs Covered now with lines and creases Tickets torn in half Memories in bits and pieces Chorus 1: 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 2: Traces of love long ago That didn't work out right Traces of love with me tonight Bridge: I close my eyes And say a prayer That in her heart she'll find A trace of love still there Somewhere {key modulates to Sax solo (verse chord pattern, in Eb): Chorus 3: Traces of hope in the night That she'll come back and dry These traces of tears From my eyes Sax solo (verse chord pattern) to fade
