(Verse 1)
Sixteen, saw her, twenty-two. Brandy, a vision, bathed in moon.
With a man old enough to be her father, a life she longed to sever.
I was her shelter, her solace, her peace. First love, a fierce release.
She, a dream; I, a boy, learning life's hard lessons, fast and joyful, through her eyes.
(Chorus)
Brandy, oh Brandy, your smile, a sunbeam's grace. Forever felt too short a space.
Michael, my boy, a love we shared, a family, a bond beyond compare.
Jealous whispers, poisoned darts, tore us apart, broke our hearts.
Lost in the shadows, searching still, for the love that time couldn't kill.
(Verse 2)
Every glance, a fresh ignite, a love rekindled, burning bright.
Best friend, soon-to-be wife, a future painted, vibrant life.
Then the darkness crept in, insidious lies, spun by those with envious eyes.
They pulled us down, ripped us asunder, leaving a void, a world of thunder.
(Chorus)
Brandy, oh Brandy, your smile, a sunbeam's grace. Forever felt too short a space.
Michael, my boy, a love we shared, a family, a bond beyond compare.
Jealous whispers, poisoned darts, tore us apart, broke our hearts.
Lost in the shadows, searching still, for the love that time couldn't kill.
(Bridge)
My sister, my uncles, their venomous tongues, a web of deceit, where truth was flung.
Life spiraled, lost in the haze, a wasteland of sorrow, a maze of days.
Searching for you, through the endless night, a flickering flame, a fading light.
(Chorus)
Brandy, oh Brandy, your smile, a sunbeam's grace. Forever felt too short a space.
Michael, my boy, a love we shared, a family, a bond beyond compare.
Jealous whispers, poisoned darts, tore us apart, broke our hearts.
Lost in the shadows, searching still, for the love that time couldn't kill.
(Outro)
Brandy… where are you? My love, my life, my everything… Brandy…
