[Intro]
Golden hour sighs, the river glows in flame
Footsteps echo soft as if you still call my name
[Verse 1]
We walked the banks where colors bled to gold
Your hand in mine, a quiet warmth I used to know
Time stood still on that fading, amber road
I close my eyes, I reach for you, I almost hold
[Pre-Chorus]
If dreams can borrow dawn, I’d borrow you tonight
Let the water keep your whisper, hold you close in light
[Chorus]
I’d walk that river again, if only in my sleep
Feel your fingers loosen mine and promise to keep
The memory warm, a relic I could keep
But morning comes, and you drift like a shadow deep
[Verse 2]
The world rushes on, yet that hour stays in bloom
A hush of grasses, your laugh dissolved in perfume
I trace the sleepy path where citrus skies fell through
And wish to press your smile to my weathered blue
[Pre-Chorus]
If hearts could borrow time, I’d steal a single breath
To walk with you again till the stars forget their depth
[Chorus]
I’d walk that river again, if only in my sleep
Feel your fingers loosen mine and promise to keep
The memory warm, a relic I could keep
But morning comes, and you drift like a shadow deep
[Bridge]
Hold onto the edge of that light we knew
Where everything whispered, and the day felt true
If I dream long enough, maybe I won’t wake through
The river’s gentle sigh will cradle me back to you
[Chorus]
I’d walk that river again, if only in my sleep
Feel your fingers loosen mine and promise to keep
The memory warm, a relic I could keep
But morning comes, and you drift like a shadow deep
[Outro]
Till then I walk the gold-lit banks alone, I keep
A hand in mine, though it’s only in a dream I keep
