Title:
“Echoes of Yesterday”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Em] Walking down the [Am] empty streets, echoes of yesterday [D] follow me,
[G] Faces from the past I [Em] can’t forget, memories that [Am] haven’t faded yet.
(Chorus)
[C] Echoes of yesterday, [G] whisper in my ear,
[Em] Tales of love and pain, [Am] moments that still appear,
[D] Chasing shadows of the past, [G] that only I can hear,
[Em] I’m lost in the echoes of [Am] yesterday.
(Verse 2)
[Em] Pictures fall like [Am] raindrops, on the canvas of my [D] mind,
[G] Laughter, tears, and [Em] silent cheers, moments that [Am] time left behind.
(Chorus)
[C] Echoes of yesterday, [G] visit me in dreams,
[Em] Haunting like a ghost, [Am] rippling in life’s streams,
[D] They’re the melodies of the past, [G] sung in silent screams,
[Em] I’m caught in the echoes of [Am] yesterday.
