“Faded Polaroids”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Look around, [D] can you see,
[Em]The memories we’ve [C] made are a [G] tapestry,
[D]Photos stacked, in our [Em] drawer,
[C]Frozen moments, [G] we adore.
(Chorus)
[C]In the faded Polaroids, [G] our lives are stored,
[D] Laughter, tears, and [Em] things we can’t afford,
[C]Through the lens, [G] time’s been ignored,
[D] In faded [Em] Polaroids, our [D] love is explored.
(Verse 2)
[G]Remember the day, [D] on the sunlit pier,
[Em]With windswept hair and [C] joyous cheer,
[G]You and me, [D] against the world,
[Em]Chasing dreams, [C] flags unfurled.
(Chorus)
[C]In the faded Polaroids, [G] our lives are stored,
[D] Secrets whispered, [Em] silent prayers implored,
[C]Echoes of youth, [G] never to be restored,
[D] In faded [Em] Polaroids, our [D] love is adored.
