The Day I Missed You

[Verse 1] Empty desk across the hall Shadows stretch where he should call Silent whispers fill the air A missing presence, everywhere [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat quickens, mind’s adrift Concentrate, yet thoughts all shift [Chorus] Vanished smile, where have you gone? The classroom feels too cold, too long I search for you in every glance Lost in worry, lost in chance [Verse 2] Faint footsteps echo in my mind A sickness, injury, or fate unkind? The laughter gone, the light withdrawn A fleeting hope that you’ll return at dawn [Pre-Chorus] Paper rustles, teacher speaks But all I hear are silent creeks [Chorus] Vanished smile, where have you gone? The classroom feels too cold, too long I search for you in every glance Lost in worry, lost in chance [Bridge] Shadows twist and mingle with my fear I reach for you, but you’re not near Through dim-lit halls, my heart descends I pray this absence soon will end [Chorus / Finale] Vanished smile, return to me Fill the room with your melody Every shadow fades, the light begins Bring back the warmth of your grin [Outro] I wait… I hope… I see you again… [ending]
