When the Porch Light Flickers(his side)

[gentle acoustic intro, fingerpicked guitar with light slide guitar accents] [Verse 1] I met her in a field where the fireflies swayed, A mason jar moon lit the path where we laid. She smelled like sweet clover, her laugh like a bell, And I fell, oh Lord, how I fell. [Prechorus] But life ain't a postcard, the years take their toll, We trade wild-eyed mornings for nights feeling old. [Chorus] When the porch light flickers, but the love don’t fade, Through the cracks in the floorboards, the vows we made. It ain't about the sparkle, it’s the steady flame, When the porch light flickers, it still knows my name. [Verse 2] Her hair’s turned to silver, her hands rough with time, But her eyes hold the sky, and they still look like mine. The storms we have weathered, the droughts we have prayed, Every line on her face tells the price that we paid. [Prechorus] But I’d do it all over, the laughter, the ache, Every splintered moment was love I can’t shake. [Chorus] When the porch light flickers, but the love don’t fade, Through the cracks in the floorboards, the vows we made. It ain't about the sparkle, it’s the steady flame, When the porch light flickers, it still knows my name.
