Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the quiet of the morning light,
Echoes of a life once bright,
A soldier stands, with weary eyes,
Counting days 'neath fading skies.

[VERSE 1]
He wore the uniform so proud,
Fought for freedom, stood out in the crowd,
But time has taken its toll on him,
With memories lost, where hope feels dim.
There were stories shared and laughter loud,
Now shadows linger, wrapped in a shroud,
He lost his heart, that sweet embrace,
The one he cherished, now lost in space.

[CHORUS]
Old soldier, weary soul,
Time slips away, like sand through a hole,
He’s ready to follow her into the night,
Where love’s eternal, and everything’s right.
Let the stars guide him home,
In the moonlight, he won't be alone.

[VERSE 2]
He walks through halls where silence reigns,
Reminders of joy, now tethered to pain,
Each picture frame, a testament to time,
A love so deep, a heart so sublime.
Though the medals shine upon his chest,
It’s the love he lost that won’t let him rest,
He whispers her name into the night air,
Hoping she hears him, wherever, still there.

[CHORUS]
Old soldier, weary soul,
Time slips away, like sand through a hole,
He’s ready to follow her into the night,
Where love’s eternal, and everything’s right.
Let the stars guide him home,
In the moonlight, he won't be alone.

[BRIDGE]
And as he closes those tired eyes,
He pictures her smile, beneath endless skies,
The battles fought, the scars that tell,
Of a love that held him through heaven and hell.
He’s packing his heart, a suitcase of dreams,
Ready to walk through the soft golden beams.

[CHORUS]
Old soldier, weary soul,
Time slips away, like sand through a hole,
He’s ready to follow her into the night,
Where love’s eternal, and everything’s right.
Let the stars guide him home,
In the moonlight, he won't be alone.

[OUTRO]
So here he stands, at the edge of the day,
Ready for peace, where the shadows will play,
A veteran’s journey,
