“Bonfire Hearts”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Down at the riverside, [G] where love used to hide
[Am] We kissed under the moonlight, [F] it felt so right
[C] You wore that summer dress, [G] I was a mess
[Am] Lost in your eyes, [F] under the starry skies
(Chorus)
[G] Bonfire hearts, [C] in the dark
[Am] Dancing in the flame, [F] love’s a crazy game
[G] Bonfire hearts, [C] don’t fall apart
[Am] Hold me close, [F] before the ashes start
(Verse 2)
[C] Now we’re miles away, [G] but I remember the day
[Am] We promised forever, [F] under the weather
[C] Those words we used to say, [G] like echoes fade away
[Am] But our love, [F] was more than just play
(Chorus)
[G] Bonfire hearts, [C] in the dark
[Am] Dancing in the flame, [F] love’s a crazy game
[G] Bonfire hearts, [C] don’t fall apart
[Am] Hold me close, [F] before the ashes start
(Outro)
[C] Bonfire hearts, [G] burning bright
[Am] Underneath the stars, [F] lost in the night
[C] Bonfire hearts, [G] holding tight
[Am] Until the dawn, [F] brings the morning light
