in the quiet of the night

In the quiet of the night, I hear your voice Echoes of a time when we had no choice Laughter turned to whispers, dreams turned to dust In the shadows of yesterday, it’s you I trust But now you’re gone, and I’m left alone In this empty house, it’s no longer a home Memories fade but the pain still stays In the shadows of yesterday, I’ve lost my way The photograph on the wall, a smile that lied Promises we made, now scattered in the tide I walk these halls, feel the ghost of your touch In the silence, it’s your absence I clutch But now you’re gone, and I’m left alone In this empty house, it’s no longer a home Memories fade but the pain still stays In the shadows of yesterday, I’ve lost my way Time moves on, but my heart stands still In the cold of the night, I feel the chill Of a love that once burned bright and clear Now just a shadow, a lingering tear But now you’re gone, and I’m left alone In this empty house, it’s no longer a home Memories fade but the pain still stays In the shadows of yesterday, I’ve lost my way In the shadows of yesterday, I hear your name In the whispers of the wind, it’s all the same Till the sun breaks through this endless gray I’ll be here, in the shadows, waiting for the day
