Title:
“Valley of the Forgotten”

Full Song Lyrics (with chord progression):

[Verse 1 – Am G C F]
(Am)Down in the valley where the (G) old willows weep,
(C)Where secrets are hidden and (F) promises keep.
(Am) I saw a shadow of our (G) forgotten past,
(C) Echoing whispers of a love that (F) won’t last.

[Chorus – C G Am F]
(C) Valley of the forgotten, (G) where our dreams lie,
(Am) Under the willow, beneath the (F) starry sky.
(C) Can you hear the echoes, (G) can you feel the pain,
(Am) In the valley of the forgotten, love (F) lost in vain.

[Verse 2 – Am G C F]
(Am) I walked on the path where (G) you used to tread,
(C) Feeling your presence, hearing (F) words unsaid.
(Am) The breeze carries your laughter, (G) the rustling leaves your voice,
(C) In the valley of the forgotten, I (F) made the choice.

[Chorus – C G Am F]
(C) Valley of the forgotten, (G) where our memories reside,
(Am) Beneath the ancient willow, where our (F) secrets hide.
(C) Can you feel the echoes, (G) can you see the trace,
(Am) In the valley of the forgotten, our (F) love’s resting place.
