Fleeting Moments

[Intro] [Gentle, melancholic melody, fading in] [Verse 1] Speak softly to me, For I’ve seen the shadow in your gaze, The smile that fades like twilight’s hue, And the scars you’ve hidden away. So far from what we once called home, But know that you are not alone. [Chorus] Sleep now, under the quiet sky, Let the echoes of yesterday drift by, The past is gone, like summer’s light, But in the darkness, dreams ignite. Time slips through our hands like sand, The fleeting moments we can't demand. [Verse 2] How swiftly the seasons turn, The fleeting nature of our days, We chase the sun, but shadows fall, As the years slip quietly away. Wasted time, we’ll never reclaim, And we’ll never feel that way again. [Bridge] Beyond the veil of night, You linger in the edge of sight, A flash, a sigh, a final light, But with the dawn, the tears will dry. Of all that’s lost and yet to come, This dream is only just begun. [Chorus] Sleep now, under the quiet sky, Let the echoes of yesterday drift by, The past is gone, like summer’s light, But in the darkness, dreams ignite. Time slips through our hands like sand, The fleeting moments we can't demand. [Outro] Time is a river, swift and wide, Carrying us where dreams reside. Though moments fade, memories stay, In the light of a new day.
