Who did we pass today... Without ever knowing their name? There was a stranger at the grocery line, Holding back tears with a borrowed smile. A neighbor waved that we never waved back, Now somebody else cuts their grass. There's an old friend buried in my phone, Another birthday spent alone. We promised we'd never drift apart... Funny how silence learns the heart. Every road we didn't take... Leaves another face to fade. How many stories disappear... Without a goodbye? We're dancing with ghosts we never knew, Holding on to moments we never lived through. Running so fast that the years slip by, Never asking why... But every heartbeat still belongs To the ones who've been here all along. When the lights burn low tonight... Love is waiting under our roof. Grandpa's chair still rocks outside, Grandma's recipes still survive. Pictures fading on the wall, Still somehow say it all. The kids don't need us every day, They've got dreams to chase away. But every lesson, every laugh... Still follows every path. Maybe growing older isn't losing anyone... Maybe it's learning where love has gone. Call your brother while you can, Take your mother's weathered hand. One more coffee, one more drive... One more ordinary night. We're dancing with ghosts we used to know, Watching little seeds we've planted grow. Every goodbye becomes hello... Somewhere down the road. Every memory finds a place, Written softly on each face. Love doesn't disappear... It simply changes rooms. So don't spend forever chasing everyone you've lost. Some hearts were only meant To cross your path... The ones who matter most Are already home. The laughter in the kitchen... The muddy boots by the door... The empty bedroom upstairs... Still filled with love. And when they build a life beyond these walls... You don't need to hear their voice every day... Because if you loved them well... Part of you... Went with them. We're dancing through tomorrow now, With silver hair beneath the clouds. Every wrinkle tells a song, Every scar says we belong. Raise your glass to every soul, Every chapter made us whole. The greatest gift we'll ever prove... Is loving those... Who lived... Under our roof.
