[gentle acoustic intro, fingerpicked guitar with light slide guitar accents]

[Verse 1]
I met him on a back road where the long grass swayed,
Fireflies like lanterns showed the path that we made.
We danced in worn sneakers, shared a shy little smile,
And I knew, oh Lord, in a while.

[Prechorus]
Now the seasons keep turning, but we stand our ground,
Every sunrise together, new love we have found.

[Chorus]
When the porch light flickers, we still slow dance close,
Cookin’ supper side by side, laughin’ soft and low.
Holdin’ hands on Sunday drives down those country lanes,
When the porch light flickers, he still says my name.

[Verse 2]
We’re coffee on the front steps when the world feels loud,
We’re prayers in the kitchen when the storms roll proud.
We’re late-night movie marathons and grocery runs,
Fixing fences, folding clothes till the work is done.

[Prechorus]
We’re backing up each other when the days turn hard,
Talkin’ through the midnight in the old back yard.

[Chorus]
When the porch light flickers, we still share this home,
Rocking chairs and whispered plans ‘bout the years to come.
Cooking meals, we bless the bread, saying grace by name,
When the porch light flickers, it burns just the same.

[Verse 3]
We’re long talks on long walks down the gravel road,
Little notes he writes for me when he lifts my load.
We’re showin’ up at doctor’s rooms and big set plans,
Clappin’ loud in quiet crowds, always holdin’ hands.

[Prechorus]
We’re dancin’ in the kitchen when the bills feel high,
Sharing coats and umbrellas ‘neath a weeping sky.

[Chorus]
When the porch light flickers, we still keep it bright,
Reading stories, humming tunes in the soft lamplight.
Every hug, each little note, every quiet prayer,
When the porch light flickers, I know he is there.

[Outro]
We’re the hands in the darkness, we’re the steady tune,
We’re the echo of that field underneath the moon.
Through the chores and the heartache, through the joy we share,
When the porch light flickers, I know he’ll be there.
