[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Faded pictures in a dusty frame,
Laughter trapped in a forgotten name.
Golden sunsets we used to chase,
Now just shadows on a phantom trace.
The old porch swing whispers your song,
A melody where you don’t belong.
[Chorus]
Oh, time’s a thief with velvet hands,
Stealing moments like shifting sands.
But memories linger, soft and vast,
Yesterday’s echoes forever last.
[Verse 2]
Autumn leaves in a rusted tin,
Secrets tucked where we once began.
Footprints washed by the summer rain,
Ghosts of us in the windowpane.
That rusty bike with a broken bell,
Rides me back to the wishing well.
[Chorus]
Oh, time’s a thief with velvet hands,
Stealing moments like shifting sands.
But memories linger, soft and vast,
Yesterday’s echoes forever last.
[Bridge]
Do you still hear the midnight train?
Or taste the snowflakes on your tongue like rain?
The world spins faster, yet I’m stuck in reverse,
Tangled in days I’ll never rehearse.
[Chorus]
Oh, time’s a thief with velvet hands,
Stealing moments like shifting sands.
But memories linger, soft and vast,
Yesterday’s echoes forever last.
[Outro]
