Verse 1 A familiar song plays in a store And suddenly you're there again Not in the room, not in my arms Just somewhere in my head The scent of rain upon the pavement A passing laugh, a certain phrase Little things become doorways To forgotten days Pre-Chorus They don't arrive like storms anymore They knock softly at the door Chorus Like quiet whispers Floating through the air tonight Little pieces of yesterday Drifting through the light And though they only stay a moment Before they disappear I still stop and listen To those quiet whispers Verse 2 I used to fear remembering Because it always brought the pain Now sometimes I can smile When your memory returns again It's strange how grief can change its shape Over months and passing years From something sharp and overwhelming To something almost dear Pre-Chorus Some memories stop hurting And start healing Chorus Like quiet whispers Floating through the air tonight Little pieces of yesterday Drifting through the light And though they only stay a moment Before they disappear I still stop and listen To those quiet whispers Post-Chorus Whoa-oh-oh, passing through Whoa-oh-oh, thinking of you Bridge Maybe the goal was never forgetting Maybe it was learning to remember Without breaking Final Chorus Like quiet whispers You still visit now and then Not to pull me backward But to remind me where I've been And though the years keep moving And the seasons change their tune Your memory still lingers In quiet whispers Outro Soft as the evening wind Quiet whispers
