The Rest Of My Life

I've walked through cities with empty noise
And smiled at faces I never knew
But nothing ever filled the space
That opened wide the day I lost you
Then you came in like a quiet note
That played a song I'd never heard
You didn't try to rescue me
You just stayed and spoke in softer words
I've been chasing moments, chasing time
But I found peace just holding your hand in mine
And I want the rest of my life
To look like your eyes when you laugh at night
To sound like your voice saying it's alright
To feel like a Sunday that never ends
I don't need riches or fame in lights
Just the comfort of knowing I got it right
If home is a person, then baby, you're mine
For the rest of my life
I've memorized the curve you breathe
The way your silence says more than speech
And when you're near, the world holds still
Like even time needs room to feel
You never asked me to become
Anything I couldn't be
But somehow, loving you has made
A better version out of me
I used to search for reasons why
Now I just look at you, and I realize
And I want the rest of my life
To mirror your calm on the stormiest nights
To echo your laugh when the world gets quiet
To hold onto truth when everything bends
I don't need perfect, don't need to try
If I've got your heart, I've won this fight
If love is a language, your name is the line
I'll write for the rest of my life
I've seen seasons come and seasons fall…
But none have moved me like your call
If forever is too long to measure,
Then let's just start with always… together
I want the rest of my life
To start with your kiss and end with your light
To grow in your arms till the end of time
And sleep in your breath every night
Don't need the stars or the painted skies
You are the moment I won't rewrite
You are my always, you are my why
For the rest of my life…
"The rest… of my life…"
