[Intro, two bars] [Verse 1, low and intimate] The kids are grown and gone The dog is asleep Dawn at the window No sound in the street A feeling won’t leave me Your eyes holding mine Everything we’ve been through Is here in this light [Chorus, remain in low register] No need to name forever No promise made out loud Your hand finds mine in the first light Never or now Two lives can turn in a moment One unspoken vow You see me and I see you Never or now [Verse 2] I learned I could lose What I never let go A lifetime away A lifetime ago I looked in your eyes I saw what was true The distance was mine I came back to you [Short Refrain, restrained] Two lives can turn in a moment One unspoken vow You see me and I see you Never or now [Bridge, stripped back and nearly spoken] We’ve spoken in anger We’ve slept back to back We’ve taken the long way And found our way back You know every weakness I know every wound The worst and the best of us Have both shared this room [Final Verse, intimate] Daylight fills the window Your eyes holding mine Nothing erased Nothing denied All of the heartache All of the grace I know what love is It looks back at me [Final Hook] Never or now [End] Lyrics © 2026 Paul Pfanner.
