[Verse]
The whistle blew
The sun hung low
Dust on our boots
Nowhere to go
She laughed like the wind through the pines
And I swore I’d seen her a thousand times
[Verse 2]
Her apron strings still tied so tight
I pulled mine off in the dimming light
Two strangers bound by the weight of the day
But something in her eyes begged me to stay
[Chorus]
And in that parking lot
The world stood still
Under the hum of the streetlamp's will
Her lips met mine
And time unwound
The stars aligned
And love was found
[Verse 3]
The gravel crunched beneath our feet
A quiet dance on an empty street
She spoke of dreams she'd tucked away
I swore to guard them come what may
[Bridge]
The night stretched long
The air turned cold
But her warmth was more than I could hold
A quiet truth in a fleeting touch
The universe whispered
"This is enough."
[Chorus]
And in that parking lot
The world stood still
Under the hum of the streetlamp's will
Her lips met mine
And time unwound
The stars aligned
And love was found
