[Intro]
Soft streetlight, a quiet rain
I pass the places we knew by name
[Verse 1]
I hear your laugh in a café chair, the way you said my name in the air
Footsteps echo down the hallway, I pretend I don’t care
But the photos spill like autumn leaves, memories press where my heart believes
I kept your promises in a drawer, now I’m unlocking them to grieve
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could go back, I’d say I’m sorry a hundred times
If I could rewrite, I’d pause the clock and keep you mine
[Chorus]
You’re a memory I keep like a soft, aching tune
A whisper in the dark when I’m waking too soon
I walk through our days, through what we used to be
And every step I take is a little you and me
[Verse 2]
The sunrise colors your favorite shade on the wall
I remind myself I’m standing tall after the fall
We spoke in constellations, now only lines remain
But I’m learning to breathe with your ghost in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could go back, I’d say I’m sorry a hundred times
If I could rewrite, I’d pause the clock and keep you mine
[Chorus]
You’re a memory I keep like a soft, aching tune
A whisper in the dark when I’m waking too soon
I walk through our days, through what we used to be
And every step I take is a little you and me
[Bridge]
Maybe someday the streetlight will fade into the morning light
And I’ll smile at the memory without losing the sight
That love released me gently, taught me how to grieve and grow
Until I find my own rhythm, and learn to let you go
[Chorus]
You’re a memory I keep like a soft, aching tune
A whisper in the dark when I’m waking too soon
I walk through our days, through what we used to be
And every step I take is a little you and me
[Outro]
So I carry you softly, through the dawn’s first glow
A chapter closing quietly, but I’m not letting go
