Title:
“Canvas of Dreams”
Full song lyrics:
Verse 1 [Em – C – G – D]
(Em) On the canvas of my dreams, I paint a thousand scenes
(C) A world where the sun always gleams, (G) and love is what it seems
(D) And I find myself lost in, your sweet and tender grin
Chorus 1 [G – D – Em – C]
(G) But you’re an artist too, (D) painting shades of blue
(Em) Crafting our story anew, (C) in the colors of me and you
Verse 2 [Em – C – G – D]
(Em) As the sun sets behind the hills, a moment of calm instills
(C) And though the silence chills, (G) our love never stills
(D) We find ourselves immersed in, a melody that’s just beginning
Chorus 2 [G – D – Em – C]
(G) For we’re artists of the heart, (D) creating our own art
(Em) Each stroke, a new start, (C) etching love in every part.
