[Intro] [Distant wind, soft acoustic strums in a minor key, ghostly pedal steel wails] [Verse] Everything was too good to be true Like a dream we didn’t wanna wake from Overwhelming joy, pure happiness Like a child runnin’ through a field of sun [Soft fiddle joins the acoustic rhythm] [Verse] Never wantin’ the mornin’ to break You glowed like an angel from high above Dancin’ to the music only we could hear While tears of passion burned in our blood [Brush drums enter gently, pedal steel moans low] [Bridge] Our bodies quiver, lost in the envy Of love too perfect, too bright to stay [Echoing piano and breathy backing vocals fade in] [Verse] Then the dream starts slippin’ away Truth shows up like the break of day We could never be, not in this time No matter how we wished or prayed [Harmonica hums low with upright bass heartbeat] [Verse] Tears fill your eyes, your heart pounds fast I feel your soul startin’ to drift from mine [Pedal steel swells, creating tension under vocals] [Chorus] And our souls… They drift apart in the wind Leavin’ love where it’s been Two hearts that tried, but couldn’t win Now we go our own ways Never to return again [Full instrumentation swells emotionally with layered harmonies] [Verse] We danced like fire, now we fade like smoke Every word we never said just floats [Acoustic rhythm slows, vocals tighten with pain] [Chorus] And our souls… They drift apart in the wind Leavin’ love where it’s been Two hearts that tried, but couldn’t win Now we go our own ways Never to return again [Final chorus repeats with stronger harmony, pedal steel cries] [Outro] [Acoustic picks fade, wind returns, a single steel guitar note echoes into silence]
