[Long Intro] [Low Cello Bass, Gentle Violin Layering, Building Intensity] [Verse 1] [Deep Cello Undercurrent, Soft Violin] Every morning, I lie by the door Listening for steps that don’t sound anymore She holds your shirt, whispers your name Wrapped in silence, lost in her pain [Pre-Chorus] [Expanding Strings, Melancholic Cello Build] I nuzzle her hand, hoping she would smile But silence hangs in the air for a while Her eyes start to glisten, holding back tears She holds her breath, hoping he’ll appear [Chorus] [Full String Section, Emotional Violin Lead, Deep Cello] I’ll wait for you here, like I have before Believing the day you’ll walk through this door I’ll keep my watch, week after week Hoping for a glimpse, the one I seek One day… just one day [Verse 2] [Soft Cello Melody, Subdued Violin] The little one clings to your worn cap Her head resting on her mother’s lap Her laugh is gone, replaced by sighs I see the sadness hiding in her eyes [Pre-Chorus] [Expanding Strings, Subtle Crescendo] I curl up close, try to bring her peace But her heartache only seems to increase She stares at the door, her hope’s so thin And I’m here waiting, will you walk back in? [Chorus] [Powerful Strings, Strong Cello and Violin Harmony] I’ll wait for you here, like I have before Believing the day you’ll walk through this door I’ll keep my watch, week after week Hoping for a glimpse, the one I seek One day… just one day [Instrumental Interlude] [Full Strings Ensemble] [Verse 3] [Male Vocal, Subtle Strings, Sparse Percussion] Each night I sit by the window’s glow Watching shadows where you used to go The world feels colder, every sound so far And I’m left with silence, wondering where you are [Chorus] [Full String Section, Strong Cello and Violin Harmony] I’ll wait for you here, like I have before Believing the day you’ll walk through this door I’ll keep my watch, week after week Hoping for a glimpse, the one I seek One day… just one day [Instrumental Break] [Soft Strings, Subtle Percussion] [Bridge] [Swelling Strings, Expansive Cello and Violin Crescendo] I dream of the day you’ll open that door To feel your hand, like so many times before To hear your voice, to see your face Bring life back into this empty place [Verse 4] [Muted Cello and Soft Violin, Sparse Percussion] One day, I hear the boots on the floor That steady beat, the sound I adore I leap with joy, heart racing wild But the door swings open… and my hope turns mild It’s a man in uniform, with eyes cast low He steps inside, moving so slow He kneels down, whispers soft and kind But I already know, deep in my mind [Chorus] [Full String Ensemble, Cello and Violin in Unison] I’ll wait for you here, like I have before Believing the day you’ll walk through this door I’ll keep my watch, week after week Hoping for a glimpse, the one I seek One day… just one day [Outro] [Soft Cello Fade, Gentle Violin] I’ll take care of them, like you asked me to do I’ll guard them well, keep them safe, like you knew And though you’re gone, I’ll wait here and stay Hoping to see you again… someday [End]
