Faces and Places Songtext

von Tom Paxton

There are places I have been,
Faces I knew way back when,
I loved them all,
I loved them in their time.
They are all my yesterdays;
We smiled and went our separate ways-
We all said, "Ciao!"
Of course, I miss them now.

Faces and places,
They all left indelible traces
On my soul--
Wherever it's going.
Faces and places,
Spun my soul in gossamer laces.
God knows how
I miss them now.

Oh, I know the past is past.
The changes come so very fast,
You blink one eye--
Another day goes by.
But the memories won't let go,
And every day the feelings grow,
You think you're strong,
And then you hear one song.

Faces and places,
They all left indelible traces
On my soul--
Wherever it's going.
Faces and places,
Spun my soul in gossamer laces.
God knows how
I miss them now.
