“Shadows in the Rain”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C G D
In the pouring rain, I see your face again,
Em C G D
No umbrella, just your smile, pure and plain.
Em C G D
In the city’s glow, where the shadows grow,
Em C G D
You were the light that made me whole.
(Chorus)
G D Em C
Shadows in the rain, love’s sweet refrain,
G D Em C
We danced through the pain, no need to explain.
G D Em C
Now the streets are empty, nothing remains,
G D Em C
But the echoes of laughter amidst the rain.
(Verse 2)
Em C G D
Years have passed, but memories last,
Em C G D
Your delicate touch, our bond so vast.
Em C G D
In these cold streets, where we used to meet,
Em C G D
Your ghostly whispers, bittersweet.
(Chorus)
G D Em C
Shadows in the rain, love’s sweet refrain,
G D Em C
We danced through the pain, no need to explain.
G D Em C
Now the streets are empty, nothing remains,
G D Em C
But the echoes of laughter amidst the rain.
