Step into the smoky, seedy glamour of a 1970s Las Vegas lounge with "Twenty Years From Now," a hauntingly beautiful, folky ballad that blends nostalgia, longing, and a deep reflection on what the future holds. With a voice as smooth as velvet but laced with the grit of life's rough edges, the lounge singer contemplates how life will look decades ahead, through smoky air and dim lights.
Set to a steady, hypnotic beat, the lyrics tell a story of love, loss, and resilience:
“If I could see twenty years from now, how this world will be, and if I could make it somehow, there’s still so much left in me...”
Accompanied by soft piano, subtle guitars, and a sultry atmosphere, the song takes you on a journey through memory lanes, broken roads, and the bittersweet passage of time.
As the singer drifts between the present and her dreams of the future, we are reminded of how fleeting life can be-but also how much strength and potential remain inside, no matter how uncertain the future may seem.
If you enjoy soulful, reflective music with a nostalgic edge, this performance will take you deep into a world where past, present, and future blend into a smoky haze of sound and emotion.

[Verse]
I see the stars shining bright
In this dark and endless night
Dreams of future hold the light
Guiding us till morning bright
[Verse 2]
Faces change but hearts remain
Love and loss the joy and pain
Footsteps in the pouring rain
We keep dancing through the strain
[Chorus]
If I could see twenty years from now
How this world will be
And if I could make it somehow
There's still so much left in me
[Verse 3]
Broken roads and silent streets
Memory lanes where old paths meet
Voices whisper bittersweet
Echoes of a rhythmic beat
[Chorus]
If I could see twenty years from now
How this world will be
And if I could make it somehow
There's still so much left in me
[Bridge]
Time it flies like paper planes
Yet our spirit still remains
Through the joy and through the pain
We will rise and break the chains
[Chorus-Spoken]
If I could see
twenty years from now
how this world will be
and if I could make it somehow
(Theres still so much left in me)
