Porch Light Promise

Verse 1:

Your coffee cup still by the door

Same spot it's been for ten years more

I trace the crack where you once dropped it

While the porch swing sings your name

Pre-Chorus:

Every creak of this old swing recalls the miles between us growing tall

Chorus:

Dust on the dashboard, photos fading slow

Your worn boots by the closet where I know

You'll never stand again—just empty space

But I keep the porch light on anyway

Verse 2:

Found your scarf beneath the seat

Smelled like rain and summer heat

I drove that backroad just to feel you near

Where the train tracks cross the river

Chorus:

Dust on the dashboard, photos fading slow

Your worn boots by the closet where I know

You'll never stand again—just empty space

But I keep the porch light on anyway

Bridge:

Seasons change like station lights

But love don't fade with passing time

Outro:

Morning comes... porch light still burns...

For the love that always returns...
