Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I leave my shoes by the door
I leave my name in the dust
But you remember my laugh
When the hard days came to rust
I leave the chair by the window
The cup with the blue chip gone
Still, that is not what stays
When my footsteps move on
[Pre-Chorus]
What lingers is kinder
Than stone or gold
It travels in silence
It gathers and holds
[Chorus]
What stays behind
Is what you gave
What stays behind
Lives past the grave
In hearts I touched
In hands I knew
What stays behind
Is me and you
[Verse 2]
I leave the road in the morning
I leave the rain on the roof
But if I loved you true
Then my leaving becomes proof
Of every small thing tender
A shared bread, a lifted chin
The world may close the door
But your heart lets me in
[Pre-Chorus]
What lingers is kinder
Than stone or gold
It travels in silence
It gathers and holds
[Chorus]
What stays behind
Is what you gave
What stays behind
Lives past the grave
In hearts I touched
In hands I knew
What stays behind
Is me and you
[Bridge]
When my name grows quiet
And my shadow fades from view
Let the good I left in you
Speak the truth
[Final Chorus]
What stays behind
Is what you gave
What stays behind
Lives past the grave
In hearts I touched
In hands I knew
What stays behind
Is me and you
What stays behind
Is love made new
