[Verse 1]
Sunset spills on the weathered boards, your old rocking chair creaks back,
The grill’s left cold beside the mason jar, half full with the nights we’d pack.
That swing you stained swings slow in wind, still holds the secret in its grain,
I trace the lines where your hand once was, like footprints fading in the rain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dust settles on the windowsill, catching gold from fading day,
Time slips quiet through the pine trees, but here, you never drift away.
[Chorus]
Forever on this porch we sit, through every season’s turn and drift,
Your laugh still hangs in the air like smoke, a gentle ghost I can’t resist.
Coffee cold, the dusk is deep, but here with you’s where my heart will keep,
Forever on this porch, love, our story’s worn but still so sweet.
[Verse 2]
Crickets hum their midnight song, it twines between the corn and thyme,
Your worn out boots lean on the rail, waiting for a better time.
The fireflies light up the dark, like tiny lamps in the night’s thick cloak,
I catch a glimpse of your silhouette, like a page from yesterday’s old folk.
[Pre-Chorus]
Moon drips silver through the elms, shadows dance on creaking planks,
Your voice's ghost rides on the breeze, unfolding stories in the blanks.
[Chorus]
Forever on this porch we sit, through every season’s turn and drift,
Your laugh still hangs in the air like smoke, a gentle ghost I can’t resist.
Coffee cold, the dusk is deep, but here with you’s where my heart will keep,
Forever on this porch, love, our story’s worn but still so sweet.
[Bridge]
Sometimes I catch you in the wind, or in the curl of smoke from a spark,
The way your hand would brush my hair, felt like finding light inside the dark.
The nights grow long, and silence sings, but I don’t mind the lonely score,
‘Cause in every creak and quiet sigh, you’re forever knocking on this door.
[Chorus]
Forever on this porch we sit, through every season’s turn and drift,
Your laugh still hangs in the air like smoke, a gentle ghost I can’t resist.
Coffee cold, the dusk is deep, but here with you’s where my heart will keep,
Forever on this porch, love, our story’s worn but still so sweet.
[Outro]
The porch light flickers as I say goodnight, but I know you’re near where memories meet,
Forever and a little more, I’m right here — forever on this porch, our seat.
