Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Underneath the canvas of a painted sky, [D] we lay,
[Em]Sharing dreams of love through words we couldn’t [C] say,
[G]Night’s enchantment echoed in your eyes so [D] bright,
[Em] as we danced beneath the [C] moonlit sky tonight.
(Chorus)
[G]Beneath the moonlit sky, [D] we found our paradise,
[Em]Two hearts intertwined, [C] guided by starlight.
[G]A love so pure it could [D] ignite the night,
[Em]Oh, we danced beneath the [C] moonlit sky.
(Verse 2)
[G]With every beat, our hearts composed a [D] song,
[Em]Swept in the rhythm, together we belong.[C]
[G]As the stars bear witness to our [D] plight,
[Em]We keep dancing beneath the [C] moonlit sky.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)
[G]Beneath the moonlit sky, [D] our love will never die,
[Em]Forever in our hearts, [C] beneath the moonlit sky.
