Echoes of You

[Intro] **(Verse 1)** The morning light, it finds your place A shadow left upon the space Where you would stand, a cup of tea And softly sing a tune to me I trace the lines your fingers drew On window panes, still wet with dew And every corner of this home Has learned the way you used to roam **(Chorus)** You are the quiet in the noise The steady truth, the gentlest voice A harbor when the waves are high A fearless glint within my eye The world is bright when you're around A sweeter, softer, kinder sound And I have found, my whole life through My favorite song, my love, is you **(Verse 2)** Some days I feel like heavy rain Too tired to try, too much to gain And you will sit so close to me And hold my hand so patiently You see the man I want to be The one your smile has set so free You never fix, you simply stay And love the darker shades of grey **(Chorus)** You are the quiet in the noise The steady truth, the gentlest voice A harbor when the waves are high A fearless glint within my eye The world is bright when you're around A sweeter, softer, kinder sound And I have found, my whole life through My favorite song, my love, is you **(Bridge)** And if the years should steal the gold From autumn leaves and stories told I'll hold your hand with weathered skin And whisper softly, "Let's begin" Again, and always, just the same Your heart still calling out my name **(Final Chorus - softer, slower)** You are the quiet in the noise The steady truth, the gentlest voice... (and fade on a gentle guitar strum)
