Lyrics

[Verse]
Underneath the old elm tree
Where we carved our names
Time wore down the letters
But the memories remain
Whispers in the wind
Like a long-forgotten tune
The summer days were endless
Endin’ all too soon

Faded polaroids
Secrets that we kept
Running through the meadows
Where the wildflowers wept
Barefoot on the river stones
Dancing to the sigh
Of the water gently flowing
‘neath a painted sky

[Chorus]
Oh
The nights were full of dreams
Beneath the stars above
Echoes of our laughter
Tales of first love
Strumming on a six-string
Hearts in perfect sync
We were chasing shadows
Standing on the brink

[Verse 2]
Crickets in the twilight
Songs of yesteryear
Melodies of moonlight
Whispered in our ears
Time it keeps on running
Like the river’s course
Captured in the moment
Without a bit of force

[Bridge]
The world keeps spinning 'round
Seasons come and go
But I’ll always find you
Where the wildflowers grow
Every time I see that tree
My heart will swell with pride
For the times we treasured
Standing side by side

[Chorus]
Oh
The nights were full of dreams
Beneath the stars above
Echoes of our laughter
Tales of first love
Strumming on a six-string
Hearts in perfect sync
We were chasing shadows
Standing on the brink
