Whispers of Yesterday

[Intro] [Verse 1] The piano hums a lonesome tune, Dusty shadows fill this empty room. Your photograph’s still cracked in that frame, But time won’t erase the ghost of your name. [Chorus] Oh, the whispers of yesterday won’t let me go, They dance in the silence, like soft winter snow. Your perfume’s a scent I still taste in the air, But the echoes of “forever” just fade to a stare. [Verse 2] I traced every scar on that old porch swing, Where you laughed like July, now a cold, broken thing. The guitar strings weep where your fingers once flew, A melody of memories I can’t outrun, can’t undo. [Chorus] Oh, the whispers of yesterday won’t let me go, They dance in the silence, like soft winter snow. Your perfume’s a scent I still taste in the air, But the echoes of “forever” just fade to a stare. [Bridge] I tried burnin’ letters, but the smoke spelled your face, Drank enough bourbon to d***n this old ache. But the moon’s just a mirror of what used to shine, A love wrapped in velvet, now frayed at the line. [Chorus] Oh, the whispers of yesterday won’t let me go, They dance in the silence, like soft winter snow. Your perfume’s a scent I still taste in the air, But the echoes of “forever” just fade to a stare. [Outro] [Verse 3] The highway’s a ribbon, my heart’s a stray mile, Your locket’s a weight ‘round this rusted-out smile. And when the last note fades, and the guitars all rest, I’ll still hear your voice in the ache in my chest. [Outro]
