Soft piano whispers in the moonlight

A candid breath in the silent night

When your footsteps fade beyond my door

I can feel your absence on the floor

Whiskey glass in my trembling hand

Every sip reminds me of our plans

The echoes of your laughter fill the air

But now it’s just a ghost, it’s not quite fair

What shadows dance when you’re gone?

What shadows linger, holding on?

Like the moonlight fades into dawn

What shadows dance when you’re gone?

I gaze at the chair where you once sat

Memories wrapped in a velvet hat

Every note of our song plays on repeat

Humming softly, oh so bittersweet

What shadows dance when you’re gone?

What shadows linger, holding on?

Like the moonlight fades into dawn

What shadows dance when you’re gone?

In candlelight, I find your trace

Every flicker is a warm embrace

Yet every flame that dares to glow

Reminds me just how much I miss you so

I'll paint a picture with each tear I’ve cried

Coloring the memories I can’t hide

Each brushstroke sings our sweetest song

A melody that's right where you belong

What shadows dance when you’re gone?

What shadows linger, holding on?

Like the moonlight fades into dawn

What shadows dance when you’re gone?

[Solo]

(Piano interlude echoing the sentiments of longing)

[Key Change]

(Creating a sense of uplift, hope amidst the sorrow)

So I'll wait for you in this lonely room

As shadows dance, dispelling the gloom

One day you'll return, and we’ll carry on,

Until then, I will sing our song,

What shadows dance when you’re gone?

[Fade-Out]

(Fading into soft piano chords while repeating the last line)
