Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Late at night, [D] under the falling stars, [Em] your whisper cuts through the silence, [C] like a lighthouse afar.
[G] Memories write, [D] shadows on the wall, [Em] our story echoes in the hallway, [C] reminding me of it all.
(Chorus)
[D] Shadows on the wall, [G] they rise and they fall, [Em] with every beat of my heart, [C] holding onto our love’s spark.
[G] In the pitch black night, [D] they dance in the moonlight, [C] my love, for you will never stall, [G] like our shadows on the wall.
(Verse 2)
[G] Time ticks by, [D] but love never fades, [Em] though we’re miles apart, [C] our bond never sways.
[G] Your laugh, your sigh, [D] forever in my mind, [Em] in the shadows on the wall, [C] our love, they continue to bind.
(Chorus)
[D] Shadows on the wall, [G] through spring and fall, [Em] with every breath I take, [C] our love, they continue to make.
[G] In the silent night, [D] they shine so bright, [C] my love, for you stands tall, [G] like our shadows on the wall.
