🎶 Lyrics – You Were My Song 🎶
[verse 1]
You brushed the dust off a world I had missed
Turned all the silence into something like bliss
You moved like a lyric I didn’t yet know
Soft as the sun and as sure as it glows
[verse 2]
You showed me rhythm in washing the floor
A waltz in the doorway, a hum at the door
I followed your footsteps, I stumbled along
But every mistake still felt like a song
[chorus]
You were my song, you were my song
You were my song all along
You were my song, you were my song
Before I knew how to sing
[verse 3]
You kissed like a chorus I couldn’t forget
Each time I heard you, the tune hadn’t left
No music was playing, but still there you were
A melody moving in every word
[chorus]
You were my song, you were my song
You were my song all along
You were my song, you were my song
Before I knew how to sing
[bridge]
Now I carry your verse in the sound of my days
Strumming your name in a thousand ways
It started with you, now the music begins
And I sing it with all that you planted within
[chorus – repeat and fade]
You were my song, you were my song
You were my song all along
You were my song, you were my song
Before I knew how to sing
