Title:
“One Last Goodbye”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C]All alone in this empty room, [G]Staring at the fading moon
[Am]Holding on to the memory of your smile
[F]And all the things left unsaid, and [C]the future we could’ve had
[G]Now, it’s just a wispy cloud in the sky
(Chorus)
[Am]One last goodbye, [G]before the dawn breaks
[F]One final echo, [C]of the love we made
[Am]Caught in the mirror, [G]are the tears I can’t hide
[F]In this empty room, [G]one last goodbye
(Verse 2)
[C]The clock ticks on, the silence grows, [G]as the pale moonlight softly glows
[Am]I trace the ghost of you on these old walls
[F]In every corner, [C]every shadow, [G]I see your laughter, I feel your sorrow
(Chorus)
[Am]One last goodbye, [G]before the dawn breaks
[F]One final echo, [C]of the love we made
[Am]Caught in the mirror, [G]are the tears I can’t hide
[F]In this empty room, [G]one last goodbye
(Bridge)
[F]A farewell whisper, [C]in this cold, lonely night
[Am]An echo fading, [G]a love out of sight
[F]I’ll cherish what we had, [C]underneath this moonlit sky
[Am]In this empty room, [G]one last goodbye
(Chorus)
[Am]One last goodbye, [G]before the dawn breaks
[F]One final echo, [C]of the love we made
[Am]Caught in the mirror, [G]are the tears I can’t hide
[F]In this empty room, [G]one last goodbye
