Ephemeral Love

[Verse] He whispered sweet nothings under moonlight's tender glow Promises forever in a voice so soft and low But stars that shone so brightly, they fade at dawn’s first light And love that burns the hottest, fades into the night [Verse 2] We built our dreams on echoes of a love that couldn’t last Bound by fleeting moments now ghosts of the past I see your smile in shadows of the memories we made But like the clouds above us, our love would slowly fade [Chorus] Oh, love so fleeting, as fragile as the morn When night turns into daylight, it leaves us feeling torn We hold it for a moment, a jewel in our hand But love’s a wave upon the shore, slipping through the sand [Verse 3] I walk the fields alone now where we used to roam The wind it tells our story, I hear it in its moan A love that once was blooming, like flowers in the spring But seasons change so swiftly, and winter’s what they bring [Verse 4] The banjo plucks a sorrow, each note a tear that falls Reminding me of moments when love filled these walls But time is ever cruel and it took you from my side Now love’s an echo fading, lost on the evening tide [Chorus] Oh, love so fleeting, as fragile as the morn When night turns into daylight, it leaves us feeling torn We hold it for a moment, a jewel in our hand But love’s a wave upon the shore, slipping through the sand
