Verse 1:
In the quiet of the night, I see your light,
Fading slowly, slipping out of sight.
You once held the world in your gentle hands,
Now I’m lost, trying to understand.
Chorus:
Memories fade, like whispers in the wind,
I reach for your heart, but where do I begin?
The laughter we shared is just a ghost now,
I'm holding on tight, but I don't know how.
Verse 2:
You speak of flowers that now bloom in gray,
I watch as your past slowly slips away.
A smile that once sparkled, now a distant star,
I’m tracing your footsteps, no matter how far.
Chorus:
Memories fade, like whispers in the wind,
I reach for your heart, but where do I begin?
The laughter we shared is just a ghost now,
I'm holding on tight, but I don't know how.
Bridge:
In the silence, I promise to stay,
Every moment, I’ll cherish, come what may.
Though the faces may blur, and the names might escape,
In my heart, your love is mine to take.
Verse 3:
So I’ll sing you our song, though the tune's out of tune,
With each passing day, I’ll be your moon.
Though the memories fade like leaves in the fall,
I believe in our love, and it conquers all.
Chorus:
Memories fade, like whispers in the wind,
I reach for your heart, but where do I begin?
The laughter we shared is just a ghost now,
I'm holding on tight, but I don't know how.
Outro:
As I hold your hand, let’s dance through the haze,
In the twilight of time, we’ll find our way.
Though the mind may forget, and the world feels so cold,
In the warmth of our love, forever we'll hold.
