Everything Was Finev6

[Verse 1] The summer spilled like honey On the sidewalks of our town, We chased the evening fireflies Till the stars came tumbling down. I still hear the old screen door And the radio’s soft song— Funny how the years can travel And still feel like they belong. [Pre-chorus] Then one night, beneath the porch light, With the whole world up in the air, You took my hand and smiled at me Like there was nothing left to fear. [Chorus] And I knew everything would be fine, Even with the dark ahead, There was a little light inside us That the hardest days couldn’t end. Now I miss those golden evenings, But I carry them in time— All that bright, bittersweet remembering, And the moment I knew we’d be fine. [Verse 2] We thought the road went on forever, Past the fields and county lines; Every goodbye felt like a promise, Every dawn a brand-new sign. Though the old days glow behind me Like a window in the rain, When I’m lost, I find that porch light And hear your voice again. [Pre-chorus] Then one night, beneath the porch light, With the whole world up in the air, You took my hand and smiled at me Like there was nothing left to fear. [Chorus] And I knew everything would be fine, Even with the dark ahead, There was a little light inside us That the hardest days couldn’t end. Now I miss those golden evenings, But I carry them in time— All that bright, bittersweet remembering, And the moment I knew we’d be fine. [Bridge] Maybe growing up is learning You can leave and still belong; The past keeps shining in the distance, And its warmth can lead you on. [Chorus] And I knew everything would be fine, Even with the dark ahead, There was a little light inside us That the hardest days couldn’t end. Now I miss those golden evenings, But I carry them in time— All that bright, bittersweet remembering, And the moment I knew we’d be fine. [Outro] Yes, I knew everything would be fine, Though I couldn’t see the way. Somewhere in that fading summer, Hope had found a place to stay. Now the years roll on like rivers, And your hand still rests in mine— In the glow of all we’ve been through, I remember we’d be fine.
