[Intro] [Dream Pop, Baroque]
[Music box melody begins, soft and melancholic]

[Verse 1] [Double-tracked]
A faded photograph, held in trembling hands
The colors bleed like watercolors, across forgotten lands
Remember whispered secrets, under skies of endless blue?
A love like ours, I thought, could never see the dew

[Chorus] [Warm Acoustic Guitar, Music Box]
Oh, the golden light is fading, shadows start to creep
Lost in reverie, where memories run deep
I chase the phantom echoes, of a love that used to be
A bittersweet symphony, just for you and me

[Verse 2] [Double-tracked]
Each passing moment lingers, a ghost of what has been
A fragile porcelain doll, with a painted, wistful grin
The scent of rain on cobblestones, a taste of summer wine
A tapestry of moments, forever intertwined

[Chorus] [Warm Acoustic Guitar, Music Box]
Oh, the golden light is fading, shadows start to creep
Lost in reverie, where memories run deep
I chase the phantom echoes, of a love that used to be
A bittersweet symphony, just for you and me

[Bridge] [Music Box Solo, Detuned]
[Music box plays a slightly distorted, melancholic variation of the main melody]

[Chorus] [Warm Acoustic Guitar, Music Box]
Oh, the golden light is fading, shadows start to creep
Lost in reverie, where memories run deep
I chase the phantom echoes, of a love that used to be
A bittersweet symphony, just for you and me

[Outro] [Music Box, Fades Slowly]
[Music box melody repeats and slowly fades to silence, leaving only the sound of brushed percussion]
