Go Back

Faded Love

Words & Music by Bob Willis, John Willis

As I read the letters that you wrote to me
Well it's you, it's you that I'm thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet
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

As I think of the past, all the pleasures that we had
As I watch the mating of the doves
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
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

Faded Love was written by brothers Bob and John Wills in 1950 and recorded by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys that year. In early 1962 Leon McAuliff had a #22 country hit with Faded Love (Cimarron 4057), and Patsy Cline's recording for Decca Records (Decca 31522) climbed the chart shortly after her death in 1963, peaking at #17.

Elvis recorded Faded Love on June 7, 1970, at RCA's Nashville Studios. The original album release was an edited version. An alternate mix appeared on the RCA record club album From Elvis With Love. On October 15, 1980, Felton Jarvis recorded a new instrumental track of Faded Love at Youn'un Sound in Nashville. The new single release did not chart.
