Past Memories / Candice Jones

lyrics:
[intro]
If only I could grasped their stories while they were still here.
Now, I’m haunted by the silence and what I didn’t say.

[verse 1]
Their voices were a melody I couldn’t understand,
A wall of foreign words between their hearts and hands.
Now I’ve learnt the language, but the chance has slipped away,
Their silent echoes haunt me, a memory gone astray.

[verse 2]
Unspoken bonds that time has left behind,
The language learned too late, a sorrow in my mind.
Their voices are shadows in the corridors of pain,
Words too late to heal the void, a bittersweet refrain.

[chorus]
Past memories, where our hearts spoke loud and clear,
Though words were left unspoken, your love was always near.
In every quiet moment, in every gentle touch,
Past memories linger, reminding me of your love.

[verse]
Each syllable I utter, a ghost of what could’ve been,
Their stories in my heart, like echoes in the wind.
I reach out through their language, but it’s a cruel disguise,
For the warmth of their embrace has faded from my eyes.

[bridge]
Unspoken words and a silence so deep,
Grandparents’ memories in my heart, I keep.
I long for the stories, the wisdom they’d share,
But their voices are lost in the cold, empty air.

Now I’ve learnt the language, but the chance has slipped away,
Their silent echoes haunt me, a memory gone astray.

[verse 2]
Unspoken bonds that time has left behind,
The language learned too late, a sorrow in my mind.
Their voices are shadows in the corridors of pain,
Words too late to heal the void, a bittersweet refrain.

[chorus]
Past memories, where our hearts spoke loud and clear,
Though words were left unspoken, your love was always near
In every quiet moment, in every gentle touch,
Past memories linger, reminding me of your love.

[verse]
Each syllable I utter, a ghost of what could’ve been,
Their stories in my heart, like echoes in the wind.
I reach out through their language, but it’s a cruel disguise,
For the warmth of their embrace has faded from my eyes.

[guitar drop]
[bridge]
Unspoken words and a silence so deep,
Grandparents’ memories in my heart, I keep.
I long for the stories, the wisdom they’d share,
But their voices are lost in the cold, empty air.
[chorus]
Past memories, where our hearts spoke loud and clear,
Though words were left unspoken, your love was always near.
In every quiet moment, in every gentle touch,
Past memories linger, reminding me of your love.
[outro]
As I walk by the old red-brick house, memories start to shine,
Of childhood days with you, where everything felt fine.
In the garden where we laughed, where love knew no bounds,
Those treasured moments with you, in my heart they still resound.
