Northern Light Whisper

[Intro] A spark in passing, a glance that felt like fate Two strangers hum a language only time could translate [Verse 1] You looked my way, a smoke of streetlight fire In that crack between heartbeats, I heard a quiet choir A rumor of forever in a hurried goodbye Whispered what-ifs float where the buses sigh [Pre-Chorus] But the world keeps turning, streets pull us apart Still my thoughts trace the map you sketched on my heart [Chorus] If I could reach you, I’d hold the moment tight Let the hours linger in the pale of northern light We’d write a promise on the corners of the night But dawn returns us to different dreams we hide [Verse 2] Electric with might-have-beens, a delicate blaze We dreamed a lengthened chorus to a brief, bright phrase Your shadow walked beside me through the glassy rain A whispered romance blooming, then vanishing again [Pre-Chorus] Yet every streetlight knows the name I almost spoke In the quiet between breaths, I hear your echo float [Chorus] If I could reach you, I’d hold the moment tight Let the hours linger in the pale of northern light We’d write a promise on the corners of the night But dawn returns us to different dreams we hide [Bridge] Maybe in another life we’d chart constellations Crossing lines where time forgives recognitions) For now I keep the spark like a secret flame Two paths, one sigh, a name I can’t reclaim [Chorus] If I could reach you, I’d hold the moment tight Let the hours linger in the pale of northern light We’d write a promise on the corners of the night But dawn returns us to different dreams we hide [Outro] Fleeting stranger, you lit a fuse in me—bright and brief Till the world calls us away, I keep the memory as my belief
