Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Dm F
Underneath the whispering pines,
G C
We found our truth entwined,
Dm F
In a melody, in a rhyme,
G C
Our hearts beat in time.
(Chorus)
Dm F
Oh, under the pines,
G C
Underneath the moonlight’s design,
Dm F
We found love, we found life,
G C
Underneath the whispering pines.
(Verse 2)
Dm F
Beneath the canvas of stars,
G C
We strummed our old guitars,
Dm F
Sang of hope, sang of scars,
G C
In the quiet of the night, we found our spark.
(Chorus)
Dm F
Under the stars,
G C
With our guitars,
Dm F
We found hope, we found art,
G C
Beneath the canvas of stars.
(Outro)
Dm F
Oh, under the whispering pines,
G C Dm
We found love, we found life,
F G
We found all we sought,
C
Underneath the whispering pines.
