Lyrics

Intro
I was just a boy, you were eighteen,
Forbidden love, a quiet scene.
(Light strumming on acoustic guitar with soft piano accents.)

Verse 1
I remember the day we met,
Your eyes so bright, hard to forget,
But love, it wasn’t meant to be,
A secret fire that couldn’t break free.
Fifteen years, a distant dream,
Life moved on, or so it seemed.
(Gentle fingerpicking builds in intensity, subtle piano chords in the background.)

Chorus
Oh Madeleine, time won’t rewind,
But you’re still here, deep in my mind,
Your laughter echoes in the breeze,
Like the waves of old memories.
Fifteen years and hearts still race,
You’re more than just a fading face.
In my dreams, we still hold tight,
In the glow of a starry night.
(Strumming pattern opens up here, with soft harmonies and light percussion joining in.)

Verse 2
You lay there sunning on your terrace,
So stunning, I was lost, no pretense.
I knew right then where I would go,
To chase the light that you still show.
I was young, I couldn’t see,
How you’d always stay with me.
(Soft percussion enters, complementing the acoustic guitar and piano, giving a more rhythmic feel.)

Chorus
Oh Madeleine, time won’t rewind,
But you’re still here, deep in my mind,
Your laughter echoes in the breeze,
Like the waves of old memories.
Fifteen years and hearts still race,
You’re more than just a fading face.
In my dreams, we still hold tight,
In the glow of a starry night.
(Percussion builds slightly, harmonies grow richer, creating a warm, enveloping sound.)

Bridge
Fifteen years, a silent tear,
You’re even more than what was near.
The past is gone, but you remain,
Madeleine, it’s not the same.
(Acoustic guitar and piano play softer, creating a delicate emotional pause before the final chorus.)

Outro
You’re more than the memory,
You’re the dream still haunting me.
Fifteen years, and I still believe,
Madeleine, you’re my reprieve.
(Ends with gentle fingerpicking on the acoustic guitar, fading out slowly with soft piano accents.)
