The Echo of Us
Metallica

Verse 1:
In the halls of school, I saw you there,
Adorable boy, with the sea in your stare.
Eighth grade dreams and seventh-grade laughs,
Ringing the bell, oh how time flies fast.

Chorus:
Cristina and Adi, under the sky,
Moments that linger, never say goodbye.
Through every heartbeat, through every sigh,
In the echo of us, our spirits will rise.

Verse 2:
Those crazy times, we danced in the sun,
First love feels like a battle won.
You were in the army, I was at home,
Shaved heads and laughter, never alone.

Chorus:
Cristina and Adi, under the sky,
Moments that linger, never say goodbye.
Through every heartbeat, through every sigh,
In the echo of us, our spirits will rise.

Bridge:
But dreams called you away, you took to the sky,
I wasn't sure of your love, so I let you fly.
Oh, the years slipped by like shadows in the night,
A chance encounter, in Bucharest’s light.

Verse 3:
You guarded the shop, I shopped and we spoke,
Memories flooding, the laughter we broke.
Fifteen years passed, a coffee, old friends,
The same spark ignited, where love never ends.

Chorus:
Cristina and Adi, under the sky,
Moments that linger, never say goodbye.
Through every heartbeat, through every sigh,
In the echo of us, our spirits will rise.

Verse 4:
Twenty years later, our hearts intertwined,
Different lives, but the old love still shines.
A hug at the airport, tears in our eyes,
I hoped forever, but goodbyes are goodbyes.

Chorus:
Cristina and Adi, under the sky,
Moments that linger, never say goodbye.
Through every heartbeat, through every sigh,
In the echo of us, our spirits will rise.

Outro:
Maybe someday, our paths will align,
In the echo of us, your heart will be mine.
With dreams unfulfilled, but love never gone,
In the echo of us, we’ll always belong.
