Lyrics
Description
(Intro - fingerpicked)
(Gently: G • D • Em • C)
(Verse 1)
Under the streetlamp's amber sky,
You bent a paper plane and taught it to fly.
Left a lipstick crescent on the rim of my cup,
Folded small promises so we wouldn't give up.
(Chorus 1)
Streetlamp whispers carry your name,
A promise folded into the slow, warm rain.
Keep the cigarette burn hidden up your sleeve —
This little song refuses to leave.
(Verse 2)
You hummed an old cassette at two a.m.,
We counted lights and swore we'd try again.
Freckles like a map across your cheek,
I traced the roads where you taught me to speak.
(Chorus 2 - variation)
Streetlamp whispers, softer now, they say,
A memory learning the price we pay.
I still wear your coat draped over the chair,
But songs need room to breathe the midnight air.
(Bridge)
Under that lamp the city keeps its edges tight,
We fold our letters closed beneath the light.
A rhythm fragile, rare — a single steady line,
We loosen knots and hand the promise back in time.
(Chorus 3 - final, arc)
Streetlamp whispers help me let you go,
A promise loosened, not a rope to hold.
I turn your laughter into something kind —
This vibrant song at last says goodbye.
(Outro)
The streetlamp swings, a slow silver ring,
I hum our tune and fold it in my palm.
Whispers in the breeze — I keep your name,
Night holds both the flame and the rain.
