The Ticking Watch

[Intro] [Verse 1] In a shelter from the weary world, A soft glow from a lamp reveals, A figure resting, gentle and frail, In a bed where memories sail. A young man kneels, a tender hand, A silent promise, in this quiet land. [Chorus] The ticking watch, a moment held, Stories whispered, never quelled. Through faded light and shadows deep, A bond of love, the heart will keep. Time may pass, and seasons may turn, But lessons learned, forever burn. [Verse 2] The world outside just fades away, No words are left they need to say. A radio, a silent tune, Beneath the pale, unfeeling moon. He holds her wrist, a gentle plea, For moments more, for all to see. [Chorus] The ticking watch, a moment held, Stories whispered, never quelled. Through faded light and shadows deep, A bond of love, the heart will keep. Time may pass, and seasons may turn, But lessons learned, forever burn. [Bridge] In every line upon her face, A lifetime etched, with love and grace. He seeks the strength, her wisdom true, A part of her, in all he'll do. Her spirit lives, it won't be gone, A guiding light, to lead him on. [Chorus] The ticking watch, a moment held, Stories whispered, never quelled. Through faded light and shadows deep, A bond of love, the heart will keep. Time may pass, and seasons may turn, But lessons learned, forever burn. [Outro] Forever burn... Always there. Even when she's gone... She's always there.
