City of Sighs

Whispered streets in a city of lost dreams

Echoes of love that once did gleam

Fading shadows, silent cries

In the city where hope slowly dies

We met in a place where the shadows dwell

Underneath a broken love's spell

Hearts that fall but refuse to break

In a city that keeps pressin' on, no mistake

Lights flicker, memories dance

Caught in a fleeting romance

Tears unsaid, words unspoken

Hearts heavy, love unbroken

City of lost, where we meet and part

A sanctuary for a weary heart

Though love's unrequited, it remains

Silent sorrow in the rain

Move on too fast, but the ghosts still stay

Tears are words the heart can't say

What's past is prologue, anew we try

Await the dawn in the city of sighs

Broken hearts keep beating on

Through the night till the break of dawn

Healing comes in time’s own way

In this city where shadows lay

City of lost, where hope resides

Beneath the tears, love still abides

A place to start anew and then

Let the silent sorrow end
