Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We stroll to the park in the morning light,
You chase every bird that dares take flight.
Coffee in hand, I laugh as you play,
Tugging the leash in your reckless way.
[Verse 2]
Down by the corner, the shop we know,
You greet the barista, tail all aglow.
I tie you beside me, the bike leans near,
Our world feels so simple, when you are here.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every small moment, steady and true,
Life feels brighter walking with you.
[Chorus]
With you on the leash, the world feels right,
Every step is golden in the soft daylight.
I walk these streets, and my heart confesses,
I feel so complete, I’m never restless.
[Verse 3]
But the sunlight fades, and the truth is near,
The leash in my hand… there’s no one here.
I whisper your name, but the silence replies,
A shadow remains where your memory lies.
[Bridge]
All those mornings, all those days,
Echo in the softest ways.
I hold on tight, though nothing remains,
Just the memory, and love that stays.
[Chorus]
An empty leash, but not an empty love,
You’re still beside me, watching from above.
I walk these streets, though my heart digresses,
I used to guide you—now I’m lost, defenseless.
[Outro]
Forever near… forever true,
I’m still walking, but lost without you.
