Weathered Vows

[Intro] A simple smile, a quiet hope between us Two hands meet, steady as the dawn [Verse 1] From a soft touch of care to a weathered vow We learned to read the weather in each other’s eyes now Raindrops on a window, counting what’s at stake Promise after promise, we chose to stay awake [Verse 2] Then a storm came loose with a gust of doubt Words turned to lightning, silence stretched us out Tears fell like rain on the map of our days Yet in the echo of thunder, you asked me to stay [Pre-Chorus] I held your gaze through the thunder and more Hurt was a tide, but love kept pulling to shore [Chorus] We weather the weather for keeps, you and I Through storms and longing, we’re the shoreline that never dies If the clouds forget us, we remember the light Choosing us, choosing us, every night [Verse 3] The night spoke in whispers, apologies grew We forgave the damage, and the dawn found us true We drew a map of now on a weathered hand Committed to the miracle we chose to withstand [Verse 4] Misunderstandings fade when a soft voice returns A gentle repair of the bridges we burned Glimmers of storm-silver on the horizon’s edge But we sign our names on the weather we pledge [Bridge] Let the winds demand more, we answer with care Storms may come closer, but we’re already there [Chorus] We weather the weather for keeps, you and I Through storms and longing, we’re the shoreline that never dies If the clouds forget us, we remember the light Choosing us, choosing us, every night [Verse 5] We learned to measure silence with breaths and trust To rebuild the harbor with every touch we must The rain becomes music when we refuse to part Two weathered souls, a stubborn, tender heart [Chorus] We weather the weather for keeps, you and I Through storms and longing, we’re the shoreline that never dies If the clouds forget us, we remember the light Choosing us, choosing us, every night [Outro] So let the seasons fall and the tempests rise We’ll stand, unbroken, under hopeful skies Together we’ll choose the ordinary miracle again To stay, to mend, to begin again
