Verse 1
On the night of our last school dance, the lights were falling slow,
You were small, with straight brown hair, and a warm, soft smile that glowed.
You took my hand so gently then, and stopped me from my way,
And something sparked between us two on that last high-school day.
Pre-Chorus
We touched so slow, without a word,
Just your warm breath in the night I heard.
---
Chorus
And I still hold, still hold you in my memory,
That night of ours that never asked for love to be.
But it hit hard, like lightning in my chest —
A moment short, but still the best.
And I keep wondering if you still hold,
that night we lost ourselves… and found a little more.
---
Verse 2
The morning pulled you far from me, fading like an echo low,
I didn’t know your name at all, but your face stayed in my soul.
On that empty hallway’s light, you slipped through sun and dust and air,
And since that day I drift back there — a short-lived dream, but strong and rare.
Pre-Chorus
And even if the years move on,
The longing stays, like a guitar’s soft tone.
---
Chorus
And I still hold, still hold you in my memory,
That night of ours that never asked for love to be.
But it hit hard, like lightning in my chest —
A moment short, but still the best.
And I keep wondering if you still hold,
that night we lost ourselves… and found a little more.
---
Bridge
Maybe you were just a spark, but you still burn inside,
And without you the night feels like it lost its guide.
If you ever come back, even late and slow,
I’ll tell you everything I kept that night I couldn’t let you know.
---
Final Chorus
And I still hold, still hold you in my memory,
That night of ours that never asked for love to be.
Maybe fate will bring us close once more,
In a story time won’t wash ashore.
And maybe then you’ll understand what stayed —
a night so short… but a longing that never fades.
