Never Let It Go

Morning light spills like honey on the floor

Dust turns into glitter, we don't ask for more

Bare feet on the tile, kettle starts to sing

You laugh and the room becomes a cathedral of small things

And the seconds lean in closer, holding their breath

Ordinary moments wearing crowns upon our heads

If we could make it last forever

(Hang the moon on our bedroom wall)

Keep the river of right now from ever reaching shore at all

(I would keep this simple heaven)

In the pocket of my soul

(If we could make it last forever)

I would never let it go

Coffee cooling on the windowsill, the record hums

We dance across the kitchen like a parade with only drums

Outside, the world keeps talking, we don't hear a word

Your smile is a quiet that sings louder than the birds

Every color gets brighter, every worry turns small

Time is soft as a whisper, barely moving at all

If we could make it last forever

(Hang the moon on our bedroom wall)

Keep the river of right now from ever reaching shore at all

(I would keep this simple heaven)

In the pocket of my soul

(If we could make it last forever)

I would never let it go

Maybe forever isn't endless, it's the way we see

How a minute turns to meaning when your hand is holding me

Maybe keeping it is letting it flow where it will go

Naming it with gentle silence, loving it, and letting go

Sunset writes our names across the ceiling beams

We trade our secrets softly, stitch the daylight into seams

We'll carry this between us when the night comes on

A lighthouse in our breathing, a quiet, faithful song

If we could make it last forever

(We would plant it like a tree)

Let it root in every season, growing rings we'll never see

(I will keep this simple heaven)

In the pocket of my soul

(If we could make it last forever)

I would never let it go

(Morning light again tomorrow, and we'll know)

(Forever lives inside the little now we hold so close)
