lyrics

In the quiet of the evening when all is calm
There lives a man who carried love and now carries on
They were just teens when their story begins
And not long they'd know the love children would bring

From their vows as kids to the silver in their hair
A lifetime of moments, he can still see her there
Through the seasons of life, they were side by side
Facing storms together they were never untied

(Chorus)
Through the laughter and tears, they danced in the rain
Built a life together, weathered joy and pain
But time can be cruel, stealing moments away
Leaving him with echoes of back in the day
Sometimes life's not fair
He can still see her there

As the stars above witness his silent cries
He clings to their love, as the lonely night flies
He treasures the memories, the laughter, the strife
A lifetime of love, a tale of husband and wife

(Bridge)
In the photographs he sees, frozen moments of life
A love story etched but cuts like a knife
He walks through their house that is filled with her scent
A bittersweet symphony of a love heaven-sent

(Outro)
In the echoes of their love, he finds strength to stand
Carrying weight from a lifetime every day by his hand
And so fifty years later as she started to fade
He made her life easy, she was never afraid
