Morning Light

Verse 1

There’s an old shirt hanging on my door

Still smells like summer afternoons

Every shadow slipping cross the floor

Feels like a memory I can’t lose

Every joke I save inside my head

Comes alive when I’m alone at night

Tried to write you letters, left unsaid

But the ink just fades away with time

Chorus

I still see you in the morning light

Your laughter carries through these empty halls

Hold on to the words you left behind

But nothing golden ever stays for long

Verse 2

Running circles in the backyard

Telling tales until the night was done

Photographs are fading, memories scarred

But I’d do it all again to see you run

Pre-Chorus

The hands of time keep turning

But every road remembers you

A thousand stars are burning

And I'll keep holding on to truth

Chorus

I still see you in the morning light

Your laughter carries through these empty halls

Hold on to the words you left behind

But nothing golden ever stays for

Bridge

Your old jeans folded on the chair

Still waiting for a wayward soul

I hear your voice when I climb the stairs

Echoes filling up the holes

Chorus

I still see you in the morning light

Your laughter carries through these empty halls

Hold on to the words you left behind

But nothing golden ever stays for long

Outro

I’ll keep the stories close, I swear

You’re the spark that lives inside my song

As the daylight slips into the air

Your memory beats, steady and strong
