Intro / Instrumental (15–20 sec)
• Soft piano arpeggio with light percussion
• Gentle synth pad underlay, subtle vocal “ooohs” to set reflective tone
Verse 1 (Lead: chest voice, soft backing harmonies)
Woke up today, the world feels new,
Time slips away, but we never knew,
Moments pass before we understand,
Life keeps moving like grains of sand.
Laughing now, it’s easy to forget,
The days we chase, the nights we’ve met,
Everything’s fleeting, a fragile chance,
So hold it close, don’t miss the dance.
Pre-Chorus 1 (Mix/head voice, airy harmonies)
Time keeps turning, don’t let it go,
(Backing) Take a breath, let the feeling show,
Every heartbeat, every glance,
We’re alive for more than just chance.
Chorus 1 (Full harmonies, uplifting yet reflective)
Fleeting nights, we’re moving fast,
Moments like this, they never last,
Take my hand, let’s make it stay,
Hold every second before it slips away.
Fleeting nights, hearts open wide,
Life keeps racing, but I want you by my side,
Every laugh, every tear, every glance,
Treasure the moments, this fleeting dance.

Verse 2 (Lead + mix voice, soft ad-libs)
Sunrise comes, and shadows fade,
The choices made, the memories laid,
Change is constant, can’t hit rewind,
But in your eyes, the world feels kind.
Dreams we chase, roads we roam,
Every street feels a little like home,
Time is quick, yet here we stand,
Holding tomorrow in our hands.
Pre-Chorus 2 (Call-and-response with backing vocals)
Time keeps turning, don’t let it go,
(Backing) Take a breath, let the feeling show,
Every heartbeat, every glance,
We’re alive for more than just chance.
Chorus 2 (Extended, harmonies, slight vocal riffing)
Fleeting nights, we’re moving fast,
Moments like this, they never last,
Take my hand, let’s make it stay,
Hold every second before it slips away.
Fleeting nights, hearts open wide,
Life keeps racing, but I want you by my side,
Every laugh, every tear, every glance,
Treasure the moments, this fleeting dance.
⸻
Bridge / Vocal Show-off (Lead: head voice, harmonies layered)
Hold it close, the night is ours,
Every fleeting second, every star,
Time won’t wait, but we remain,
In these fleeting nights, sunshine and rain.
Final Chorus / Outro (Repeat with ad-libs, gentle fade-out)
Fleeting nights, we’re moving fast,
Moments like this, they never last,
Take my hand, let’s make it stay,
Hold every second before it slips away.
Fleeting nights, hearts open wide,
Life keeps racing, but I want you by my side,
Every laugh, every tear, every glance,
We’ll keep dancing in this fleeting dance.
