Title:
“Whispers in the Rain”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Cmaj G Em D
Walking through the city lights, under a cold, dark sky
Cmaj G Em D
The echoes of your laughter, I still remember why
Cmaj G Em D
We used to dance in rain, fearless and so free
Cmaj G Em D
Now I’m dancing alone, but your ghost is all I see

(Chorus)
Cmaj G Em
Whispers in the rain, lost in the refrain
Dmaj Cmaj G
Your love was my song, but now it’s gone

(Verse 2)
Cmaj G Em D
The streets are empty now, just like my broken heart
Cmaj G Em D
In every drop of rain, I see a piece of our shattered art
Cmaj G Em D
Each puddle a mirror, showing me your face
Cmaj G Em D
Our love story drowned, lost without a trace

(Chorus)
Cmaj G Em
Whispers in the rain, lost in the refrain
Dmaj Cmaj G
Your love was my song, but now it’s gone
