Title:
“Painted Skies”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
G Am
Under painted skies, where we used to lie,
C D
Our hearts beating as one, under the setting sun.
G Am
In your eyes, I found a home,
C D
A place where I never felt alone.

(Chorus)
G Em
Oh, painted skies, bring back those highs,
Am D
Take me back to the time, when your hand was in mine.

(Verse 2)
G Am
We danced in the rain, forgetting all our pain,
C D
Lost in the rhythm, in the echoes of your name.
G Am
Through the thunder and the storm, we swore we’d never conform,
C D
In the painted skies, our love was reborn.

(Chorus)
G Em
Oh, painted skies, erase these goodbyes,
Am D
Bring me back to the time, when your love was mine.
