The city whispers through the haze
A fleeting moment, I'm amazed
She turns to me, her eyes align
But feels a way I can't define
I let her smile fade with the night
Lost in the glow of the traffic light
A second chance, I'll never know
Her shadow fades in the amber glow
The amber glow
The echoes linger in my mind
What could have been, what I might find
But courage failed, the moment passed
A memory now too good to last
Her steps retreat, the world resumes
The air is thick with what's assumed
I try to speak, but words won't come
A silent heart, forever numb
I let her smile fade with the night
Lost in the glow of the traffic light
A second chance, I'll never know
Her shadow fades in the amber glow
The echoes linger in my mind
What could have been, what I might find
But courage failed, the moment passed
A memory now too good to last
Her steps retreat, the world resumes
The air is thick with what's assumed
I try to speak, but words won't come
A silent heart, forever numb
What if I'd said the words she sought
Would we be found or come to naught
The light turns red, I stand alone
A chance like hers, forever unknown
I let her smile fade with the night
Lost in the glow of the traffic light
A second chance, I'll never know
Her shadow fades in the amber glow
The amber glow
The light does linger in my mind
What could have been, what I might find
But courage failed, the moment passed
A memory now too good to last
Her steps retreat, the world resumes
The air is thick with what's assumed
I try to speak, but words won't come
A silent heart, forever numb
The light turns green, but I stay still
A prisoner to my own free will
Her face remains, the ghost won't come
A ghostly treat, a laughter echoes
Through my mind, a sweeter sound I'll never find
The light turns green, the moment's gone
But still her smile is holding on
I let her smile fade with the night
Lost in the glow of the traffic light
A second chance, I'll never know
Her shadow fades in the amber glow
The light moves on, but I'll remain
Trapped by a memory, sweet with pain
The light moves on, but I'll remain
Trapped by a memory, sweet with pain
