Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Morning light breaks through the window,
But it don't feel warm today,
The coffee pot is lonely,
Since you've been away.
We danced through years like seasons,
With laughter in our hearts,
Now silence fills the spaces,
Where love played all its parts.
(Chorus)
Oh, how do I find my way,
In the quiet of your absence?
Every shadow tells a story,
Every memory still enchants.
I'm writing you this song, dear,
Though you may never hear,
I'll hold you in the verses,
Through each falling tear.
(Verse 2)
I hear your voice in whispers,
In the rustle of the trees,
The love we forged was timeless,
Like a sweet, gentle breeze.
50 years of laughter,
In the stories we would weave,
Now I face tomorrow,
With the weight of what I grieve.
(Chorus)
Oh, how do I find my way,
In the quiet of your absence?
Every shadow tells a story,
Every memory still enchants.
I'm writing you this song, dear,
Though you may never hear,
I'll hold you in the verses,
Through each falling tear.
(Bridge)
But I'll find the strength you gave me,
Through the love that never dies,
The world feels a little dimmer,
Yet the stars still light the skies.
I'll carry you forever,
In the warmth that still remains,
A quiet, glowing comfort
Running softly through my veins.
(Verse 3)
Those evenings spent together,
With our hands entwined so tight,
I'll sing our song in the twilight,
In the glow of fading light.
The journey's just begun, dear,
Though the path is hard to see,
I'll take each step with courage,
Knowing you're still here with me.
(Chorus)
Oh, how do I find my way,
In the quiet of your absence?
Every shadow tells a story,
Every memory still enchants.
I'm writing you this song, dear,
Though you may never hear,
I'll hold you in the verses,
Through each falling tear.
(Outro)
So here's to you, my darling,
For all the love you gave,
In the quiet of your absence,
I'll learn to stand up brave.
With every note I sing,
I'll keep your spirit near,
In the quiet of your absence,
Our love will conquer fear.
