On the nightstand by your pillow, there’s a jar that holds my love,
Little heart-shaped stones I’ve gathered, sent from earth and sky above.
When the glass is overflowing, to the garden they will go,
Every piece a quiet promise, more than words could ever show.
Chorus
If you keep my memory close and never let it fade,
I’ll be standing right beside you every step you take.
Every stone I ever gave you whispers, I still do,
Baby, I’m still loving you, even when I’m gone from view.
I left around you pieces of my heart to find,
And as long as you love me, I’ll never truly die.
Verse 2
In the pockets of your jacket, in the dryer with the clothes,
On the table, on the porch rail—everywhere our story grows.
Sometimes you may find them scattered, maybe more than you would choose,
But one day you’ll see their meaning: every rock says I love you.
Chorus
If you keep my memory close and never let it fade,
I’ll be standing right beside you every step you take.
Every stone I ever gave you whispers, I still do,
Baby, I’m still loving you, even when I’m gone from view.
I left around you pieces of my heart to find,
And as long as you love me, I’ll never truly die.
Bridge
And if my voice should fade away,
Let these stones be what remains.
Every shape my heart once knew,
Leading every path to you.
Final Chorus
If you keep my memory close and never let it fade,
I’ll be standing right beside you every step you take.
Every stone I ever gave you whispers, I still do,
Baby, I’m still loving you, even when I’m gone from view.
I left around you pieces of my heart to find,
And as long as you love me, I’ll never truly die
