In a daydream, I see you again,
We’re laughing, we’re dancing, a world without end.
But then I wake, and you’re just a trace,
A fleeting shadow, gone without a trace.

The ceiling above holds more than my sighs,
It carries the words left behind.
A love that never was, a love that could’ve been,
Lost in the room.

Still, I’ll dream, I’ll hold onto the light,
That someday I’ll break through this endless night.
And find you there, not as mine, but free,
On the other side, where we were never meant to be.

I asked you to meet me,
where the streets hum soft with rain,
in Amsterdam's quiet whispers,
where we could start again.

The canals held our secrets,
the bridges our unspoken dreams,
but now those pathways lead you
somewhere far beyond my reach, it seems.

I thought love would linger,
like the mist along the Seine,
but now you stand with another,
and I'm left calling your name.

The tulips have bloomed without me,
and your heart’s no longer mine,
yet I trace the steps we never took,
in a city lost to time.

So meet me in the echoes,
of a song that fades away,
where Amsterdam remembers us,
but knows you couldn’t stay.
