“Canvas in the Sky”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am (E7) F (C)
Look at the canvas in the sky,
G (Dm) E (Am)
In the palette of the sunsets and the dawns.
F (C) G (Dm)
Every stroke tells a tale,
Am (E7) F (C)
Of our love that never fails.
(Chorus)
G (Dm) Am (E7)
We’re a masterpiece in progress,
F (C) G (Dm)
Under the canvas in the sky.
Am (E7) F (C)
We paint our dreams and sorrows,
G (Dm) E (Am)
In the colors of our life.
(Verse 2)
Am (E7) F (C)
Each shade captures an echo,
G (Dm) E (Am)
Of our laughter and our cries.
F (C) G (Dm)
In the night stars join our journey,
Am (E7) F (C)
Adding sparkles to our lives.
(Repeat Chorus)
