Echoes in the Park

Beneath the amber glow of faded streetlights

We carved our names on the benches at midnight

Laughter rippled through the whispering leaves

Two hearts dreaming of all they'd achieve

But time, it turned the seasons fast

Moments we thought would always last

Now the swings are silent, shadows where you stood

Echoes of our laughter, lost in this old wood

We said forever, but forever slipped away

Memories linger in the park where love would stay

Your hand in mine as the world disappeared

Secrets and promises only we could hear

Autumn painted golden light on your face

Now I walk alone in our favorite place

Every footstep brings me back

To a faded photograph

Now the swings are silent, shadows where you stood

Echoes of our laughter, lost in this old wood

We said forever, but forever slipped away

Memories linger in the park where love would stay

If I close my eyes, I can hear you call my name

The rustle of the breeze, the whisper of the rain

We let go, but traces of you still remain

Bound to these pathways, touched by our pain

Now the swings are silent, shadows where you stood

Echoes of our laughter, lost in this old wood

We said forever, but forever slipped away

Memories linger in the park where love would stayOne last look before I part

Leaving my heart in that park

With echoes of us as the end and the start
