Love Never Forgot - Arden Coley
Through the dust on the shelf and the years on the clock
Through the shifting of sand and the breaking of rock
The world might get loud and the memories might rot
But our love
Love never forgot
I found a letter tucked inside a winter coat
A simple I missed you was all that you wrote
It's funny how time tries to bury the lead
To make us forget what we actually need
But then I see you standing in the kitchen light
And the ghost of the morning becomes the star of the night
The map of our journey is etched in your skin
Showing me exactly where the healing should begin
We aren't the people that we were back then
We've been broken and mended again and again
But the core of the spirit, the heat of the flame
It still knows the sound of your beautiful name
Cause love never forgot the way your hand fits in mine
It never lost track of the rhythm and the time
When the seasons got cold and the path was a blur
It remembered the heartbeat and the way that we were
Yeah the mind might be hazy
And the days might be hard
But darling love
Love never forgot
I remember the silence in the middle of the rain
When we didn't have words for the weight of the pain
Even then there was something that held us in place
A quiet recognition in the lines of your face
It's a bone deep devotion, a cellular trust
That survives the decay and the settling of rust
You're the permanent ink on a temporary page
The only thing constant in this changing age
Cause love never forgot the way your hand fits in mine
It never lost track of the rhythm and the time
When the seasons got cold and the path was a blur
It remembered the heartbeat and the way that we were
Yeah the mind might be hazy
And the days might be hard
But darling love
Love never forgot
It's the anchor in the ocean, it's the north in the dark
It's the ancient unyielding invincible spark
It waited for us when we wandered too far
Always knowing exactly
Just where we are
Cause love never forgot the way your hand fits in mine
It never lost track of the rhythm and the time
When the seasons got cold and the path was a blur
It remembered the heartbeat and the way that we were
Yeah the mind might be hazy
And the days might be hard
But darling love
Love never forgot
Through the years on the clock
Love never forgot
Always knowing your name
Love never forgot
Fire's the same
Still us
Always was
Love never forgot
Love never forgot
