" When The Last Light Fades "

“When the Last Light Fades”

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

( Verse 1 )

I found your picture in the dresser drawer,

Dust on the frame but your smile still warm.

The house is empty, the floorboards creak,

But I swear I still hear you talk in your sleep.

( Verse 2 )

I walk to the meadow where we first met,

You in a sundress I’ll never forget.

We carved our names in that old oak tree,

Promised forever—you and me.

( Chorus )

When the last light fades and the shadows fall,

I hear your voice like a midnight call.

I reach for your hand, but it slips away,

Still I love you more every single day.

I’ll carry your heart through the sorrow and pain,

Till I see you again when the last light fades.

( Verse 3 )

We built a life in a small-town home,

Raised our kids, watched them grow.

Sunday mornings with coffee and hymns,

You in the kitchen, sunlight on your skin.

( Verse 4 )

Then came the news, too heavy to bear,

Doctors spoke softly, I sat in the chair.

You smiled through the pain, whispered to me,

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll wait where rivers run free.”

( Chorus )

When the last light fades and the shadows fall,

I hear your voice like a midnight call.

I reach for your hand, but it slips away,

Still I love you more every single day.

I’ll carry your heart through the sorrow and rain,

Till I see you again when the last light fades.

( Bridge )

Some say goodbye is the end of the story,

But love like ours never fades into glory.

I talk to the stars, I pray to the sky,

Knowing love never truly dies.

( Final Verse )

Now the kids are grown, they’ve moved away,

But I sit on the porch at the end of the day.

The sun goes down where the horizon bends,

And I know I’ll see you when this journey ends.

( Final Chorus )

When the last light fades and the shadows fall,

I’ll hear your laugh like a midnight call.

I’ll lay down my burdens, let sorrow decay,

And I’ll walk beside you in the break of day.

Forever your hand, forever your name,

I’ll see you again when the last light fades.

( Final Chorus )

When the last light fades and the shadows fall,

I’ll hear your laugh like a midnight call.

I’ll lay down my burdens, let sorrow decay,

And I’ll walk beside you in the break of day.

Forever your hand, forever your name,

I’ll see you again when the last light fades.
