Song Title:
“Dancing Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Under the neon lights, [C]felt your heartbeat,
[Am]In the humming city, [D]we found our beat.
[G]In the midst of chaos, [C]you and I,
[Am]Found solace in [D]each other’s sigh.
(Chorus)
[G]We’re just dancing shadows, [C]in the night,
[Am]Hiding from tomorrow, [D]under the moonlight.
[G]Together in this carousel, [C]our souls ignite,
[Am]As we become [D]dancing shadows in the night.
(Verse 2)
[G]The city sleeps, [C]but our hearts awake,
[Am]In this moment, [D]we partake.
[G]Beneath the twinkling stars, [C]you and me,
[Am]Creating memories, [D]for eternity.
(Chorus)
[G]We’re just dancing shadows, [C]in the night,
[Am]Hiding from tomorrow, [D]under the moonlight.
[G]Together in this carousel, [C]our souls ignite,
[Am]As we become [D]dancing shadows in the night.
