Just a Reflection of You

Key: C Major
Tempo: 74 BPM – slow, heartfelt, cinematic ballad
Vibe: Tender. Nostalgic. The feeling that someone still lives inside
every part of your world—even after they’re gone.

[Verse 1]

C – G – Am – F
I see you in the windowlight
In the way the morning fades to white
In the steam that dances off my brew
Just a reflection… of you

C – G – Am – F
In a photograph I didn’t frame
In the breeze that whispers out your name
In every quiet déjà vu
I find a reflection… of you

[Chorus]

F – C – G – Am
You’re the shadow trailing my stride
The voice I hear but cannot find
You’re in the silence and the hue
Of every sky that turns to blue

F – C – G – C
You’re not here, but somehow true
Still just a reflection… of you

[Verse 2]

C – G – Am – F
In an old song on the radio
In the laugh of someone I don’t know
Even when I’m passing through
There’s always a reflection… of you

C – G – Am – F
I tried moving on, I tried standing still
But the heart remembers what it will
I don’t chase, but I still view
Every mirror as a window… to you

[Chorus – build emotionally]

F – C – G – Am
You’re the rhythm under my breath
A soft hello in a dream’s depth
You’re every wish I never knew
Still lingers like morning dew

F – C – G – C
You’re not here, but still shine through
Still just a reflection… of you

[Bridge – quiet and honest]

Am – Em – F – G
They say let go, they say time heals
But time just paints what love reveals
And I’ve learned truth in this view—
Sometimes the echoes feel more true…

[Final Chorus – soft and sparse]

F – C – G – Am
You’re the shimmer on the evening tide
The feeling I no longer hide
No need for proof, no need for clue
You’re here… in every hue

F – C – G – C
And I’m still just a reflection…
Of you
