Glimmers in the Quiet

[Intro] Dawn fogs the window, coffee cools, a quiet room sighs A photograph trembles, rain taps out a patient lullaby [Verse 1] I walk through rooms that still know your shadow names Footsteps pick up dust where laughter used to stay I count the moments like coins in a jar for rain days Tiny sparks float up from memories light as air [Pre-Chorus] My heart keeps a ledger of ache and bright small things A bruise that learns to glow when the morning sings [Chorus] Love lingers in the corners where your whisper softly stayed I cling to little lights, to what we hoped and hoped we’d say If sorrow learns to breathe, maybe joy can share the space Between goodbye and a future I’m still brave enough to chase [Verse 2] Under streetlamps the colors blur into soft gray blues I find your handwriting in the steam on a windowed truth There’s a tremor of fear, but also a stubborn bloom of grace A chorus of memories hums gently in the chest’s embrace [Pre-Chorus] I tally stumbles and I raise a hopeful thread A promise whispered courage into everything I tread [Chorus] Love lingers in the corners where your whisper softly stayed I cling to little lights, to what we hoped and hoped we’d say If sorrow learns to breathe, maybe joy can share the space Between goodbye and a future I’m still brave enough to chase [Bridge] If tomorrow wears a softer face, I’ll meet it with a steady grin If the night repeats its lullaby, I’ll listen for you within [Chorus] Love lingers in the corners where your whisper softly stayed I cling to little lights, to what we hoped and hoped we’d say If sorrow learns to breathe, maybe joy can share the space Between goodbye and a future I’m still brave enough to chase [Outro] So I fold the night into morning, gently, step by step And carry forward the glimmer that survived what I’ve kept
