Echoes of You

(Verse 1)

I still hear your laughter in the walls

Like a breeze that drifts through the hall

Your old boots by the door, still untied

As if you might come back inside

You were the fire in every fight

The calm that carried me through night

Now the silence cuts like a knife

In this house we built with life

(Chorus)

But I carry you in stories

In the songs we used to sing

You're the echo in my footsteps

The shadow in the spring

I still raise my glass to your name

Feel the warmth through all this pain

You're gone, but not gone from me

You're in the air I breathe

(Verse 2)

I see your face in strangers’ eyes

In the dusk of purple skies

You taught me how to hold my ground

Now I’m standing, but you’re not around

The world keeps spinning like it should

But nothing feels the way it could

You were more than just my blood

You were my anchor in the flood

(Chorus)

Still I carry you in stories

In the songs we used to sing

You're the echo in my footsteps

The shadow in the spring

I still raise my glass to your name

Feel the warmth through all this pain

You're gone, but not gone from me

You're in the air I breathe

(Bridge)

One day I’ll meet you where the sky turns blue

And every tear I cried will turn to dew

Until then, I’ll live like you taught me to

With love, with fight, with something true

(Final Chorus)

Yes, I carry you in stories

In the songs we used to sing

You're the whisper in my silence

You're the peace the morning brings

Though I walk this road alone

I know I’ll never be unknown

You're gone, but not gone from me

You're in the air I breathe
