Title:

“Unseen Symphony”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em C G D
Every night, under the dim city lights
Em C G D
I play the chords of my unseen symphony
Em C G D
In this solitary world, as the stories unfurl
Em C G D
I sing of love and its endless mystery

(Chorus)
C G D Em
But in the crowd, I saw your face
C G D Em
Your eyes shining like a warm embrace
C G D Em
In the noise, I heard your song
C G D Em
And knew that’s where my heart belongs

(Verse 2)
Em C G D
In every word, in every note I play
Em C G D
I see your smile, feel your soul’s serenity
Em C G D
The music flows, carrying us away
Em C G D
Into the realm of our shared symphony

(Chorus)
C G D Em
Through the rhythm, through the sound
C G D Em
In your arms, my home I’ve found
C G D Em
Our melody, endlessly pure,
C G D Em
In our affectionate concert, we endure
