[00:13.19]I stood in endless darkness long before you found your way
[00:19.92]listening to the silent hum of nights that never broke
[00:26.28]Your presence came like morning wrapped in gentle shades of gray
[00:32.70]a promise woven softly through the words I never spoke
[00:39.53]You carried light within you like a secret meant to bloom
[00:45.53]a quiet glow that warmed the corners sorrow once controlled
[00:51.92]Your tenderness filled empty rooms that once were quiet tombs
[00:58.35]and turned my muted heart into a story being told
[01:03.84]If I could shift the clocks to bring your sunrise sooner here
[01:10.20]I’d let your warmth arrive before the coldness had its say
[01:16.56]I’d gather every shadow that once whispered to my fear
[01:23.90]and trade them for the brilliance
[01:26.84]of your softly rising day
[01:35.81]In the next life if the world begins where hope is born
[01:43.20]I’ll meet you in the brightness of a new and tender morn
[01:48.78]For you were always
[01:55.95]the dawn I waited for—
[01:58.25]before my heart
[02:04.17]was worn
