Echoes in the Hallway V2

Echoes in the Hallway

I walked back through the hallway, light was fading low
Dust upon the picture frames of people I used to know
Laughter in the corners, whispers in the walls
Memories are echoes that never truly fall

And I still hear your footsteps
In the quiet after rain
The past comes flooding slowly
With every windowpane

These memories, they don’t grow old
They shimmer like the evening gold
In every shadow, in every sigh
You’re the reason in my why
I carry them, I carry you
Through every dream I’m walking through
A faded song, a long-lost call
Still echoes in the hallway of my soul

Found your coat still hanging by the cellar door
Could’ve sworn I heard your voice like all the times before
Time can’t steal the color from the things that made me whole
Memories are stories carved into my soul

Your name is like a lantern
That glows when nights are cold
Even though you’re far away
You never really go

These memories, they don’t grow old
They shimmer like the evening gold
In every shadow, in every sigh
You’re the reason in my why
I carry them, I carry you
Through every dream I’m walking through
A faded song, a long-lost call
Still echoes in the hallway of my soul

They say the heart forgets in time
But mine holds on like sacred rhymes
I wouldn’t trade a single day
Of joy or ache that came our way

These memories, they don’t fade out
They sing when silence gathers doubt
In every room, in every light
You’re my always, not just might
I carry them, I carry you
In all the things I say and do
A quiet hush, a curtain fall
Still echoes in the hallway of my soul
