carry your love like a melody

1] The clock still ticks in an empty room, Her perfume lingers on my sweater. I trace the lines in her old chair, But the silence screams I’ll never hear her laughter. Her voice replays in the midnight air, A lullaby I’ll cling to tighter. I fold the notes she left unsaid, And tuck them deep beneath my pillow. [Chorus] Oh, I see your face in every shadow, Feel your hands in the autumn breeze. Though the stars don’t shine as bright without you, I’ll carry your love like a melody. [Verse 2] The holidays sit cold and still, Her recipe box gathers dust. I wear her ring to church on Sundays, But the hymns all crack when I try to sing. The world moves on like nothing’s changed, Yet I’m stuck in our last September. Her favorite rose outlived the frost, But I can’t bear to watch it wither. [Chorus] Oh, I see your face in every shadow, Feel your hands in the autumn breeze. Though the stars don’t shine as bright without you, I’ll carry your love like a melody. [Bridge] I found her scarf tucked in my coat, A thread of warmth I can’t let go. The mirror shows her tired eyes, A reflection of the years she borrowed. And if heaven’s just a breath away, I’ll whisper all I couldn’t say— “Thank you for the time you gave, Now rest where no more storms will find you.” [Chorus] Oh, I see your face in every shadow, Feel your hands in the autumn breeze. Though the stars don’t shine as bright without you, I’ll carry your love like a melody.
