Golden Memories

[Verse] We shared a rope swing in the woods, oh how we used to fly, With your laughter on the breeze beneath a cotton candy sky. Your favorite color yellow, sunlight in your eyes so bright, We'd meet in the hall late at night, to talk 'til morning light. [Verse 2] But now you're gone, my dear friend, it's hard to carry on, These golden memories are fading, like shadows 'fore the dawn. I try to hold on tight, but they slip right through my grasp, It hurts to let go, but I know it's time to face the past. [Chorus] Golden memories turn to dust, as tears roll down my face, In this heartache-soaked terrain, I'm trying to find my place. The rope swing in the woods just rusts, without our joy to share, I'll cherish what we had, though you're no longer there. [Verse 3] In the stillness of the night, I hear your whispered laugh, From the shadows in my mind, echoes of our golden past. Your favorite color yellow fades to gray in my mind’s eye, But I'll paint it bright again, so your spirit never dies. [Verse 4] I walk through woods alone now, where the rope swing used to be, Searching for solace in the leaves, memories chasing me. The hallways feel so empty, without your guiding light, But I'll keep your spirit close, in the quiet of the night. [Chorus] Golden memories turn to dust, as tears roll down my face, In this heartache-soaked terrain, I'm trying to find my place. The rope swing in the woods just rusts, without our joy to share, I'll cherish what we had, though you're no longer there.
