Shadows of Yesterday
(Soft instrumental, highlighting the reflective mood)

Verse 1
C
In the quiet of the evening,
Am
Shadows stretch across the floor,
F
Whispers of the past come creeping,
G
Knocking softly on the door.
C
I remember distant faces,
Am
Stories etched in lines of time,
F
Lessons learned in hidden places,
G
Buried deep, but still they shine.

Chorus 1
F
Shadows of yesterday,
G
They dance in the light of today,
C
Guiding every step we take,
Am
Through the trials, through the pain.
F
Echoes of what we’ve been,
G
Shape the hearts we hold within,
C
Shadows of yesterday,
Am
Teach us how to live again.

Verse 2
C
In the mirror, there’s a story,
Am
Of the scars we try to hide,
F
Every wound and every glory,
G
Woven in the threads of pride.
C
Through the storms, we kept on walking,
Am
Even when the night was long,
F
Now those shadows, softly talking,
G
Sing the verses of our song.

Bridge
Am
We can't erase the moments,
G
That shaped the souls we are,
F
In every tear, a lesson,
C
In every fall, a star.
Am
The shadows softly whisper,
G
Of dreams that never fade,
F
Guiding us forever,
G
Through the choices that we made.

Chorus 2
F
Shadows of yesterday,
G
They fade but never truly leave,
C
Reminding us of every way,
Am
We learned to hope, to dream, believe.
F
Through the dark and through the sorrow,
G
We found the strength to see tomorrow,
C
Shadows of yesterday,
Am
Lay the path we walk today.

Outro
C
In the quiet of the evening,
Am
Shadows linger, fade away,
F
Yet their whispers keep repeating,
G
Guiding us through every day.
