The light is always shining

Lyrics

Verse 1 We were kids chasing midnight through the streets, Borrowing tomorrow from the edges of our dreams. The night would end beneath your kitchen light, Coffee on the table, eggs frying in the quiet. You'd ask us where we'd been, what stories we'd found, Laughing at our answers while the world slowed down. And somehow in those moments, though we didn't understand, You were holding broken boys with gentle hands. Chorus And the light still knows my name, Even if the memories fade away. Some things live beyond the mind, Beyond the words we leave behind. I see it in your eyes when they meet mine, A spark untouched by space or time. You may not remember all we've been, But our souls still recognize each other within. Verse 2 Then the mountains called you far across the sky, To Austrian mornings where the rivers wandered by. Yet when we came to visit, nothing ever changed, The door was always open, the welcome stayed the same. You made sure we had everything we'd need, Love hidden in the smallest deeds. And when the clock struck midnight on her birthday that year, You turned an ordinary night into a memory still here. Chorus And the light still knows my name, Even if the memories fade away. Some things live beyond the mind, Beyond the words we leave behind. I see it in your eyes when they meet mine, A spark untouched by space or time. You may not remember all we've been, But our souls still recognize each other within. Bridge Dementia steals the pages one by one, But it cannot touch the warmth of the sun. It cannot take the kindness that you gave, Or the safe place that you made. And though the roads inside your mind may bend, I still feel the bond that never ends. Because love is written deeper than memory, In places no darkness can reach. Final Chorus And the light still knows my name, Though the years have carried us away. I still see the woman I've always known, In every smile, in every tone. The stories may be drifting with the tide, But the heart you gave is still alive. And somewhere beyond what words can explain, The light still knows my name. Outro So if you see me and wonder who I am, That's alright, you don't have to understand. Because long before the memories grew thin, You made a home for me within
