[Verse]

Sittin' on the bench by the lake at night

Underneath the pale moonlight

Thoughts of you begin to consume

Tears well up and sorrow blooms

[Verse 2]

Memories of your laughter, your innocent face

Forever etched in this sacred place

The water's calm, but my heart's a storm

Forever burdened, forever torn

[Chorus]

Oh, the echoes of the lake, they haunt me still

Through the darkness, your spirit fills

The waves crash, the winds they howl

I'll forever carry this pain, this loss I'll never disavow

[Orchestra bridge]

[Verse]

In the stillness of the night

I sit alone, this somber sight

By the lake where memories lay

In shadows on the water, they gently sway

[Verse 2]

Thoughts of you consume my mind

Your laughter, your smile, so hard to find

The moon reflects upon the lake

I feel your presence, for heaven's sake

[Chorus]

Oh, the echoes of the lake, they haunt me still

Through the darkness, your spirit fills

The waves crash, the winds they howl

I'll forever carry this pain, this loss I'll never disavow

[orchestra]

[piano outro]

[Verse 2]

Thoughts of you consume my mind

Your laughter, your smile, so hard to find

The moon reflects upon the lake

I feel your presence, for heaven's sake

[Chorus]

Oh, the echoes of the lake, they haunt me still

Through the darkness, your spirit fills

The waves crash, the winds they howl

I'll forever carry this pain, this loss I'll never disavow

[piano outro]
