old love letters

[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar arpeggios, faint piano hum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – soft strummed guitar, quiet shaker] Dust motes dance on sunlit floor Cracked spine where the years wore Frayed ribbon tied in a bow Words I haven’t read in so long, I don’t know how to start now [Pre-Chorus – subtle cello undercurrent, slow build] Fingers trace the faded ink Memories start to sink Back to nights we’d stay up late Talking ‘bout the dreams we’d make [Chorus – layered vocals, warm piano swell] Letters in the attic, yellowed at the edge Every line a ghost that won’t let me forget Your handwriting still feels like a kiss A love that time can’t fully dismiss [Verse 2 – fingerpicked guitar, soft brushed drums] Coffee stain on page three A joke only you and me Remembered how we laughed so hard We spilled our drinks out in the yard [Pre-Chorus – cello grows louder, light tambourine] Fold creases where you held it tight Through the fights and the long goodnights Every word a promise we tried to keep Now they’re just secrets the walls won’t keep [Chorus – full band, gentle harmonica interlude] Letters in the attic, yellowed at the edge Every line a ghost that won’t let me forget Your handwriting still feels like a kiss A love that time can’t fully dismiss [Bridge – sparse piano, breathy vocal harmonies] I don’t know if I’ll ever let them go They’re the last piece of us I still hold Not regret, just a quiet ache For the choices that made our paths break [Solo – weeping harmonica, soft guitar backing] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – stripped back to acoustic guitar and vocals] Letters in the attic, yellowed at the edge Every line a ghost that won’t let me forget Your handwriting still feels like a kiss A love that time can’t fully dismiss [Outro – fading guitar, faint piano note] Dust settles back on the page Another quiet, sunlit stage
