Song Title:
“A Cosmic Rendezvous”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1) [Em G D A]
Under the neon skyline, we found our way,
[Em G D A]
Lost in a cosmic rendezvous, where dreams can play,
[Em G D A]
You bring stardust in your eyes, I carry the milky way,
[Em G D A]
In this celestial dance, let’s sway.
(Chorus) [C G D Em]
A cosmic rendezvous, under the stars and the moon,
[C G D Em]
In a universe of us, in an endless tune,
[C G D Em]
Hold my hand, let’s dance, to the rhythm of the cosmic loon,
[C G D Em]
In a cosmic rendezvous, where love will bloom.
(Verse 2) [Em G D A]
Jupiter and Mars, whisper our names,
[Em G D A]
The universe is our canvas, love is our game,
[Em G D A]
In the cosmic rendezvous, we ignite a flame,
[Em G D A]
In the infinite cosmos, we etch our fame.
(Chorus) [C G D Em]
A cosmic rendezvous, under the stars and the moon,
[C G D Em]
In a universe of us, in an endless tune,
[C G D Em]
Hold my hand, let’s dance, to the rhythm of the cosmic loon,
[C G D Em]
In a cosmic rendezvous, where love will bloom.
