From the recording Pet Loss & Love That Remains
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Long shadows on the sidewalk, gold on every tree,
Your collar tapped a rhythm only meant for me.
The leash was light between us, like a secret thread,
I memorized your footsteps and every turn we tread.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could stop the evening, I’d hold the sky in place,
But time keeps walking forward while I walk through your grace.
[Chorus]
This is our last walk at sunset, I’m breathing in your name,
Colors falling softly as the day lets go of flame.
I’ll carry all your daylight when the night feels cold and long,
Every step we took together still sings inside my song.
[Verse 2]
Park bench by the fountain, wind inside the leaves,
You looked back just a moment like you knew what leaving means.
I told you it was okay, you pressed against my knee,
And in that small forever you gave your light to me.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could keep you longer, I’d trade the stars for minutes,
But love keeps shining onward and I keep walking in it.
[Chorus]
This is our last walk at sunset, I’m breathing in your name,
Colors falling softly as the day lets go of flame.
I’ll carry all your daylight when the night feels cold and long,
Every step we took together still sings inside my song.
[Bridge]
When the streetlights flicker on, I’ll watch the amber glow,
Lay the leash across my heart and let the river flow.
If rain begins to whisper, I’ll shelter what we made,
A thousand quiet sunsets living in the shade.
[Chorus]
This is our last walk at sunset, but love keeps leading on,
I hear your little heartbeat steady in my dawn.
I’ll carry all your daylight when the night feels cold and long,
Your name is in my breathing, your light inside my song.
[Outro]
And when the colors fade to blue, I’ll find you in the sky,
I’ll follow every golden street where memory learns to fly.
One more turn, one more step, I breathe a thanks for grace,
Last walk at sunset--and love still finds its place.
