Dusk by the River

[Intro] Soft light folds over the river, a sigh of gold [Verse 1] They stand where the water leans toward the shore, quiet and sure A smile passes between them, simple and pure Dusk settles like a kiss on the water’s waking skin In their pause, the world grows softer, the edges thin [Chorus] Hands align without a word, a gentle, present vow In every breath, their calm heartbeats echo now Eyes meet the river’s mirror, reflecting home and more Two souls in one rhythm, love opening its door [Verse 2] A gull arcs above, a silver thread in the fading light The air carries the hush of streets left behind for the night Footprints trace a moment where promises softly begin They lean into the quiet, where tenderness wells within [Chorus] Hands align without a word, a gentle, present vow In every breath, their calm heartbeats echo now Eyes meet the river’s mirror, reflecting home and more Two souls in one rhythm, love opening its door [Bridge] If the world grows loud, they’ll listen to small things— The rustle of leaves, the river’s shy sings A shawl of dusk wraps them in tender glow Every shared glance says, you’re my steady, you know [Chorus] Hands align without a word, a gentle, present vow In every breath, their calm heartbeats echo now Eyes meet the river’s mirror, reflecting home and more Two souls in one rhythm, love opening its door [Outro] When night reaches the shore, they linger in the light of each other A timeless hush, a final smile, and the river keeps their cover of wonder
