[Verse]
She slipped through my fingers one clear autumn morn,
Her laugh like a melody, forever now worn.
But the rainbows, they linger, painting the sky,
In the hues of her leaving, I sit and ask why.
[Verse 2]
The dawn breaks anew with a fiery glow,
Yet the ache it delivers is the one that I know.
With each silver moonbeam that dances on high,
There’s no shadow behind me, no place left to cry.
[Chorus]
Oh, the love that got away, left my heart to wade,
Through the colors of this life and the rainbows that stayed.
Every sunrise brings hope, every moon finds its tune,
But the shadow of her is the light by the moon.
[Verse 3]
The taste of the pies Mama used to bake,
Or the sweetness of berries by the cool summer lake.
Life has its delights, oh the flavors, they cheer,
But nothing compares to when she was near.
[Bridge]
A whisper of breezes, a fall’s gentle breeze,
A world full of beauty, pulling pain to its knees.
Though she’s just a memory, her smile’s held in song,
By the rainbows and moonlight that carry me along.
[Chorus]
Oh, the love that got away, left my heart to wade,
Through the colors of this life and the rainbows that stayed.
Every sunrise brings hope, every moon finds its tune,
But the shadow of her is the light by the moon.
