Smoke rises soft from the old wooden floor
Half of a lifetime is pinned to the door
Letters from oceans away in the dark
Ink faded out but it left a deep mark
Time steals the youth turning silver to gray
Year after year I am willing to stay
Guarding a secret that nobody knows
A quiet devotion that silently grows
Dust from the road on a worn-out design
A few simple words worth a whole golden mine
Knowing you might never find the way home
I’ll keep the space for the love we have known
Seasons will change as the river runs deep
Kindness is all that I'm choosing to keep
No words of anger and no tears of pain
Just carrying warmth through the cold winter rain
A single page carries a lifetime of grace
Holding my love through the distance and space
No need to meet just to say our goodbyes
The tenderness stays in the depth of my eyes
Half of a century hidden in truth
A faithful heart under the roof
The ordinary days are the hardest to bide
True love is quiet with nowhere to hide
A single page carries a lifetime of grace
Holding my love through the distance and space
No need to meet just to say our goodbyes
The tenderness stays in the depth of my eyes
Half of a century hidden in truth
A faithful heart under the roof
The ordinary days are the hardest to bide
True love is quiet with nowhere to hide
Ordinary days the hardest to bide
True love is quiet with nowhere to hide
