We walk the quiet ground where love has always been, Every step a memory, every breath the wind. [Chorus] And I hold you like tomorrow might steal you away. A fragile silhouette in the fall of the day. The shadows beneath the light tell what time can’t hide. Even in the silence, love stays by my side. [Verse 2] The echo of your laughter moves through these walls, A tender kind of thunder when the darkness calls. I trace the edge of your smile where the last light starts, Guarding every ember still alive in our hearts. [Chorus] And I hold you like tomorrow might steal you away. A fragile silhouette in the fall of the day. The shadows beneath the light tell what time can’t hide. Even in the silence, love stays by my side. [Bridge] It’s not the breaking that scares me, it’s the space between, The miles after sunset where the road turns unseen. But your touch is still a sunrise on a weathered soul, A hand against the dark when the night takes hold. [Final Chorus] So I hold you like tomorrow might steal you away. A fragile silhouette in the fall of the day. The shadows beneath the light hold the vows we swore. Even in the silence, I love you more and more. [Outro] The dusk may settle heavy, the stars may lose their flame, But here in what is fading, love still speaks your name.
