[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The clock hands spin, but my heart stays still,
In faded photographs, a promise unfulfilled.
Years like whispers, carried on the breeze,
I trace your shadow through the autumn trees.
[Chorus]
I loved you for a long time, a fire in the rain,
A melody we lost but still remains.
Through every season, every tear I’ve cried,
You’re the ghost of tomorrow I couldn’t let die.
[Verse 2]
Your name’s a hymn in the chapel of my mind,
A bittersugar ache, a taste I can’t rewind.
We built castles in the clouds that fell too soon,
Now I hum our lullaby to the hollow moon.
[Chorus]
I loved you for a long time, a fire in the rain,
A melody we lost but still remains.
Through every season, every tear I’ve cried,
You’re the ghost of tomorrow I couldn’t let die.
[Bridge]
The stars don’t ask why they flicker and fade,
They just burn in the darkness, unafraid.
So I’ll hold this love like a timeless song,
Even if forever’s been a lifetime too long.
[Chorus]
I loved you for a long time, a fire in the rain,
A melody we lost but still remains.
Through every season, every tear I’ve cried,
You’re the ghost of tomorrow I couldn’t let die.
[Outro]
