A Light Beside the Door

Verse 1

Warm wind coming off the valley

Mountains wearing clouds like shawls

She arrived in the middle of my summer

And I never quite stood tall

Her laugh was loud as parrots

Her patience soft as rain

Even now the quiet carries

Her name

Pre-Chorus

I won't chase the fading hours

Won't ask the sky for more

I'll leave a little lantern

Beside an open door

Chorus

So if you hear this song tonight

Wherever you might be

Somebody out here's wishing you

Peace and easy sleep

From her country to my chest

There's a distance I can't hide

Some people leave a melody

That never leaves your side

Post-Chorus

Ay ay ay

Never leaves your side

Ay ay ay

Never leaves your side

Verse 2

I recall the small things mostly

Talking till the candles died

The colors that she asked me about

The plans we never tried

Two hearts sometimes need stillness

To learn what they already know

So I'll give you all the room you need

And watch you go

Pre-Chorus

I don't need a reason

Don't need you to explain

Love sometimes means stepping back

And letting silence breathe again

Chorus

So if you hear this song tonight

Wherever you might be

Somebody out here's wishing you

Peace and easy sleep

From her country to my chest

There's a distance I can't hide

Some people leave a melody

That never leaves your side

Post-Chorus

Ay ay ay

Never leaves your side

Ay ay ay

Never leaves your side

Bridge

Maybe years from now we'll look back

At this little chapter

And see the quiet moments

Were teaching us to stand

Maybe the road will bend around

Maybe our paths will cross

And if they do I'll meet you there

With a calm and open heart

Final Chorus

So if you hear this song tonight

Look up at the sky

There's a small piece of my heart

Sending you a light

From her country to my chest

Your memory still comes through

And whatever tomorrow brings

I'll always wish the best for you

Post-Chorus

Ay ay ay

The best for you

Ay ay ay

The best for you
