“Shadows in the Light”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1: A, D, E, A]
In the stillness of the night, (A, D)
I feel your silent sighs. (E, A)
Beneath the starry sky, (A, D)
We let our dreams take flight. (E, A)

[Chorus: F#m, D, A, E]
Shadows in the light, (F#m, D)
In your eyes, I find my fight. (A, E)
In the echoes of the night, (F#m, D)
We’re shadows dancing in the light. (A, E)

[Verse 2: A, D, E, A]
Through the drizzle, through the rain, (A, D)
We’ve shared laughter, we’ve shared pain. (E, A)
In the silence, love remains, (A, D)
In this dance, life’s sweet refrain. (E, A)

[Chorus: F#m, D, A, E]
Shadows in the light, (F#m, D)
In your eyes, I find my might. (A, E)
In the echoes of the night, (F#m, D)
We’re shadows dancing in the light. (A, E)
