Echoes of the Lake

[Verse] Sittin' on the bench by the lake at night Underneath the pale moonlight Thoughts of you begin to consume Tears well up and sorrow blooms [Verse 2] Memories of your laughter, your innocent face Forever etched in this sacred place The water's calm, but my heart's a storm Forever burdened, forever torn [Chorus] Oh, the echoes of the lake, they haunt me still Through the darkness, your spirit fills The waves crash, the winds they howl I'll forever carry this pain, this loss I'll never disavow [Orchestra bridge] [Verse] In the stillness of the night I sit alone, this somber sight By the lake where memories lay In shadows on the water, they gently sway [Verse 2] Thoughts of you consume my mind Your laughter, your smile, so hard to find The moon reflects upon the lake I feel your presence, for heaven's sake [Chorus] Oh, the echoes of the lake, they haunt me still Through the darkness, your spirit fills The waves crash, the winds they howl I'll forever carry this pain, this loss I'll never disavow [orchestra] [piano outro] [Verse 2] Thoughts of you consume my mind Your laughter, your smile, so hard to find The moon reflects upon the lake I feel your presence, for heaven's sake [Chorus] Oh, the echoes of the lake, they haunt me still Through the darkness, your spirit fills The waves crash, the winds they howl I'll forever carry this pain, this loss I'll never disavow [piano outro]
