TruCountry: Jake Hooker And Bobby Flores performs "Faded Love"

"Faded Love" is a Western swing song written by Bob Wills, his father John Wills,and his brother, Billy Jack Wills. The tune is considered to be an exemplar of the Western swing fiddle component of American fiddle.[citation needed]The melody came from an 1856 ballad, Darling Nelly Gray, which John Wills knew as a fiddle tune. "Faded Love" is a sentimental song about lost love. The name comes from the refrain that follows each verse: I remember our faded love.

 

The song was a major hit for Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys (MGM 10786) reaching number eight on the Country charts in 1950.It became one of his signature songs.

Bob Wills Faded Love Lyrics

 

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 sweet

I remember our faded love

I miss you darling 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

As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had

As I watch the mating of the dove

It was in the springtime when you said goodbye

I remember our faded love

I miss you darling 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
