Title:
“One More Echo”
Song Lyrics:
Verse 1 [Dm C Bb A]:
In this city where the night just fades,
I’m left chasing your one more echo.
Through the silence, your voice invades,
In the depths of my soul, it echoes.
Chorus [F C Bb A]:
One more echo, one more whisper in the wind,
A trace of you that keeps reverberating.
One more echo, through the silence it begins,
Your memory, it keeps resonating.
Verse 2 [Dm C Bb A]:
In the corners of this empty room,
I still hear the laughter and the sorrow.
In the echoes, I find the bloom,
Of a love that may not see tomorrow.
Chorus [F C Bb A]:
One more echo, one more whisper in the night,
An imprint of you that’s softly pulsating.
One more echo, in the dimming of the light,
In every echo, it’s you I’m locating.
