Title:
“Sunset of Our Youth”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Staring at the broken glass,
[Em]The remnants of our past.
[C]Remembering the laughter,
[D]The dreams that we chased after.
[G]Underneath the same old tree,
[Em]The place where you found me.
[C]We were wild, we were free,
[D]In the sunset of our youth.

(Chorus)
[G]Oh, the days were a whirl,
[Em]In the time when we were the world.
[C]Basking underneath the sun,
[D]Never knowing what we’d become.
[G]In the shadows of the night,
[Em]We found the courage to fight.
[C]We were strong, we were bright,
[D]In the sunset of our youth.

(Verse 2)
[G]Now, we’ve let go of our fears,
[Em]Shed unnecessary tears.
[C]Found our way through winding paths,
[D]Learned to love, learned to laugh.
[G]The memories are not lost,
[Em]They were worth the cost.
[C]We’ve grown, we’ve crossed,
[D]From the sunset of our youth.

(Chorus)
[G]Oh, the days were a whirl,
[Em]In the time when we were the world.
[C]Basking underneath the sun,
[D]Never knowing what we’d become.
[G]In the shadows of the night,
[Em]We found the courage to fight.
[C]We were strong, we were bright,
[D]In the sunset of our youth.
