Title:
“Whispered Promises”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Whispered promises, [G] under the stars,
[Am] Dreams of forever, [E] in our hearts.
[F] Your laughter echoing, [C] under the moon,
[G] Making me realize, [E] I fell too soon.
(Chorus)
[F] Whispered promises, [C] broken dreams,
[G] Our love story, [Am] not what it seems.
[F] Empty echoes, [C] and hollow words,
[G] I’m just a songbird, [E] without its serenades.
(Verse 2)
[C] You were my sunshine, [G] my endless sky,
[Am] Now all that’s left, [E] is your goodbye.
[F] Whispered promises, [C] lost in the wind,
[G] I’m just a shipwreck, [E] lost at sea’s end.
(Chorus)
[F] Whispered promises, [C] shattered hearts,
[G] From “forever”, [Am] we now part.
[F] I’m just a memory, [C] within your mind,
[G] A broken record, [E] from another time.
