Lyrics
Her laughter's echo, a haunting refrain Through the sorrow and the shadowing pain In dreams I reach, through the veil so thin To the ghost of warmth, where her smile had been A whisper of the past, that comforts the heart In the silence where we're never truly apart [Verse] Her whisper's song, beneath the stars Serenade what's now just ours In twilight's hush, we find our tune A quiet plea to heal the wound A gentle hold, a touch so light In her embrace, ends the night, we breathe, oh [Verse] I saw her face, it struck a chord I held my breath and softly called, "Shall we dance?", oh The world grips tight but she's adrift In melodies that slowly lift I caught her gaze, it felt so warm I drew her close, through the storm, we swayed, oh Now she's gone like the dusk that fades Into night's embrace, where our memories wade Holding her close, in the dance of my mind Turning in time, to the love left behind A dance so slow, where our shadows play In the silence, her presence stays, we sway, oh The room feels cold, the guitar in hand Strumming softly to the rhythm of the lost land Fingerpicks trace, a tune bittersweet In the quiet where our hearts would meet Her memory's a song, now so serene With each note I strum, she's almost seen, we play, oh
