Fleeting Glance — Raduga Duga

Текст песни

[Verse 1]
[Soft acoustic guitar picking]
[Vocals: Male, intimate, breathy sub-tone]
The world is rushing, but I’m standing frozen
Looking at a path that was never chosen
You caught my eyes like a spark in the gray
A perfect stranger just walking away
He held your hand as you moved through the neon
A bittersweet picture for me to look back on
And just for a moment... the clock ceased to tick.

[Chorus]
[Vocals: Male, soaring high tenor, emotional]
You shine so bright. You shine so bright.
You shine so bright, it’s real.
I saw your smile in a fleeting glance,
And I can’t explain how I feel,
'Cause our fates will never align.

[Verse 2]
[Add soft, warm strings]
[Vocals: Male, tender high tenor]
A silent promise that lives in the dark
A sudden fire from a wandering spark
You laughed at his words but your eyes chased the rain
And I was a witness to beautiful pain
Yeah, our paths crossed over, as we drifted by
I felt for a second that I could just fly...
But I was just drowning in your reflection.

[Chorus]
[Vocals: Male, intense emotional high tenor]
You shine so bright. You shine so bright.
You shine so bright, it’s real.
I saw your smile in a fleeting glance,
And I can’t explain how I feel,
'Cause our fates will never align.

[Bridge]
[Vocals: Male, pure soaring falsetto, crying tone]
[Music swells, cinematic emotional climax]
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la, drifting away...
The river keeps moving, the stars have to fade,
You go to the life that the two of you made.
[Vocals: Male, full voice passionate belt]
And I turn around now, I’m letting you go,
But there’s one last thing that you need to know...
Yeah, you need to know!

[Guitar Solo]
[Melodic, crying acoustic guitar solo]

[Chorus]
[Vocals: Male, maximum emotional peak, highest tenor note]
You shine so bright. You shine so bright.
You shine so bright, it’s real.
I saw your smile in a fleeting glance,
And I can’t explain how I feel,
'Cause our fates will never align.

[Outro]
[Music fades to very soft acoustic guitar strum]
[Vocals: Male, whispered tender sub-tone]
It’s time to step into the dark...
But I’ll keep the warmth of your spark.
Goodbye, my wonder.
Goodbye... my love.
[Fade out to absolute silence]
