Verse 1
The house feels softer when you’re near
Like time slows down and disappears
Your hands have held a thousand years
Of love you gave so freely
You taught us how to laugh through pain
To dance out loud in summer rain
And even now, through all this change
You’re still our steady light
Pre-Chorus
And we’re counting every moment
Like it’s made of gold
Trying hard to say the things
We’ve never told
Chorus
If we had five more days
We’d fill them up with love
Hold you close and never let
A single second rush
And when you close your eyes
We hope you see our faces
Every laugh, every tear
Every memory you gave us
You’ll never fade away
You live in us always
Even when you’re gone
Love will stay
Verse 2
Your stories echo through these walls
In every frame, in every call
You’re in the way we stand up tall
And how we care for others
And though our hearts are breaking now
We’ll make you proud, we’ll show you how
To carry all you showed us how
To love like you still do
Pre-Chorus
And we’re holding every whisper
Every word you say
Trying not to think about
The coming day
Chorus
If we had five more days
We’d never waste a breath
Tell you all the ways you are
The best of everything we have left
And when you close your eyes
We’ll be right there beside you
In every prayer, every song
There’s nothing we won’t do
You’ll never fade away
You live in us always
Even when you’re gone
Love will stay
Bridge
So if you feel afraid
Just listen for our voices
We’re the love you gave away
We’re your thousand choices
And when the sky calls you home
You won’t be alone
You’ll be wrapped in every piece
Of love you’ve ever known
Final Chorus
Though we don’t get more days
We’ll make these moments last
Every “I love you” we say
Will echo past the past
And when you close your eyes
We’ll hold you in forever
In every heart you’ve touched
We’ll keep you close together
You’ll never fade away
You live in us always
Even when you’re gone
Love will stay
