Dusty Attic Memories
6 hours agoAria v1
[Intro]  
[Verse 1]  
A creaky step, a sunbeam’s glow,  
Found a box in the attic, buried low.  
Dusty lid, a faded frame,  
Your smile still shines through the years’ slow fade.  
Front porch swing, summer’s heat,  
Two kids laughin’, barefoot beats.  
Polaroid secrets, frozen in time,  
A love that burned like August’s wine.  
[Chorus]  
Oh, that front porch swing still sways in my mind,  
Your hand in mine, fireflies aligned.  
But seasons turn, and roads unwind,  
Now I’m left with a “what if” tied to a twine.  
[Verse 2]  
Yellow edges, a crack in the glass,  
Memories pour like rain on old grass.  
Midnight drives in that rusty truck,  
Silent vows we never got to pluck.  
[Chorus]  
Oh, that front porch swing still sways in my mind,  
Your hand in mine, fireflies aligned.  
But seasons turn, and roads unwind,  
Now I’m left with a “what if” tied to a twine.  
[Bridge]  
Do you ever stare at the same moon’s glow?  
Wonder where our stars chose to go?  
A life unwritten, paths untrod,  
Just ghosts in a frame, and a nod to God.  
[Outro]
