Echoes of You

[Intro] Soft rain tapping the windowpane, a quiet room knows your name I reach across the empty air and feel the space between us stay the same [Verse 1] The bed sighs with your sleepy laugh that once woke the morning light Now I sing to shadows on the wall, counting breaths that fade to night Your coffee sits in porcelain cups, untouched and cooling slow I wear your favorite sweater just to feel you wrap me close [Pre-Chorus] If time could bend, I’d steal a moment back to when we laughed at nothing much If distance could be melted down, I’d pour it into your arms to touch [Chorus] I miss you in the quiet, when the house forgets to smile I miss the way your heartbeat kept me steady all the while If love could cross the distance, you’d be here beside me now Till then I hold your memory and somehow learn to breathe somehow [Verse 2] The clock keeps moving like a tide upon a weathered shore I count the steps toward morning and I’m not sure what I’m searching for A thousand little whispers float from photos on the shelf I chase the echo of your voice until I find myself again, myself [Pre-Chorus] If time could bend, I’d steal a moment back to when we laughed at nothing much If distance could be melted down, I’d pour it into your arms to touch [Chorus] I miss you in the quiet, when the house forgets to smile I miss the way your heartbeat kept me steady all the while If love could cross the distance, you’d be here beside me now Till then I hold your memory and somehow learn to breathe somehow [Bridge] Maybe someday the stars will bring us back to where we started from And in the stillness I’ll hear you say you never really left my heart alone [Chorus] I miss you in the quiet, when the house forgets to smile I miss the way your heartbeat kept me steady all the while If love could cross the distance, you’d be here beside me now Till then I hold your memory and somehow learn to breathe somehow [Outro] Until the doors open wide, I’ll wait with a patient, aching grace Knowing love travels long and far, but never truly leaves your embrace
