Growing Light

(hmmmmm) Woke up early to the sound

of rain

falling slow

Cup of coffee on the counter,

nowhere left to go

Found an old photograph

tucked inside a dusty drawer

Smiling faces of the friends

I don't see anymore

Oh, the years they drift on by

like clouds in the sky

We don't get to keep the moments,

just the reasons why

So hold onto the laughter

and the quiet in between

(quiet in between)

Walked down to the corner store

where the old man stood

We talked about the winter weather,

how the summer's good

He said life is just a series

of the things you leave behind

To make some room for all the beauty

that you're gonna find

Oh, the years they drift on by

like clouds in the sky

We don't get to keep the moments,

just the reasons why

So hold onto the laughter

and the quiet

in between

Just the quiet in between (hmmm)
