Autumn Whisper of Us

Lyrics

Verse 1 I almost turned around outside Your friends were laughing down the hall You opened up and took my hand Like you could tell I felt so small You brought me in, still holding on And someone asked you who I was You smiled before you answered them As if the answer came from love Pre-Chorus I’d spent so long rehearsing what to say Then you said it in the easiest way Chorus You said, “This is my girl” And I forgot the crowded room I looked at you, you looked at me Like you’d been waiting for me too I’d never heard those words before And felt so sure that they were true When you said, “This is my girl” I fell a little more for you Verse 2 Later, walking home, I asked If you knew what you’d done to me You thought that you had said too much And stopped beneath the streetlight’s beam I told you I had loved it But my voice came out so low You brushed my hair back from my face And said, “I hoped that you would know” Pre-Chorus I used to brace myself for every name But yours for me felt like it fit that day Chorus You said, “This is my girl” And I forgot the crowded room I looked at you, you looked at me Like you’d been waiting for me too I’d never heard those words before And felt so sure that they were true When you said, “This is my girl” I fell a little more for you Bridge You didn’t make a speech You didn’t ask me to explain You just took my hand in yours And called me by a name That I had wanted for so long I smiled the whole way home And every time I think of it I still hear how you said it Final Chorus You said, “This is my girl” And I forgot the crowded room I looked at you, you looked at me Like you’d been waiting for me too Now when you call me your girl I turn around to look at you That first time still stays with me I fell a little more for you Outro You opened up and took my hand And told them who I was to you
