You closed the door and walked away
The sunlight dimmed, it felt like gray
But in that silence, soft and white
I swear I heard your heart still cry
Inside your coat is gone, the flowers fade
But your perfume, it softly stayed
And on the bed where we once lay
The echoes whisper what we'd never say
You may be gone, but love stayed behind
In every sight, in every line
You took your steps but left your soul
Here in the quiet where I'm not whole
You're far away, but love stayed behind
I see your smile in morning tea
In every chord and melody
The clock ticks on, the hours rewind
Each time I call you in my mind
I don't need photos to record
The way you left, the way you'd fall
Into my arms, so sure, so blind
You never left, love stayed behind
You may be gone, but love stayed behind
It sings to me like sweet sunshine
Though time moves on, it's still confined
To every heartbeat that's alive
You walked away
But love stayed behind
