🎶 The Recipe We Forgot by Christian & Angela

[Verse 1 – male baritone vocal only] We used to cook with fire and faith, no need to write it down Now my page is blank, the pan is cold, the spice rack poured out Your laughter used to simmer there, between the salt and thyme We followed the steps, but lost what made it shine [Short Chorus Refrain 1 – shared male/female duet] We had the recipe once, I know But the taste has started letting go [Verse 2 – female alto vocal only] We smoothed out troubles like pie crust dough Laughed through the cracks only we would know The dog barked loud at the passing light But your hands on mine made everything right [Short Chorus Refrain 2 – shared male/female duet] Still setting the table, still lighting the flame Still reaching for love that don’t taste the same [Verse 3 – male baritone vocal only] I tried to bake it back from scratch, but all I made was smoke Kneaded every memory, but the dough refused to hold I added tears instead of sugar, burned the butter twice Love don’t rise the way it used to—no matter how precise [Short Chorus Refrain 3 – shared male/female duet] Maybe it’s buried, maybe it’s not But we both still search for what we forgot [Verse 4 – female alto vocal only] The apron is swaying by the kitchen door Sunlight spills easy across the old wood floor We set out our mugs just like before Baring our hearts, watching our love soar [Short Chorus Refrain 4 – shared male/female duet] So pull up a chair and pass the light Let’s stir what’s left and make it right [Bridge – female alto vocal only] We don’t need to start from scratch Just start from where we are Come meet me here, beneath the stars [Final Chorus – split duet] [male baritone vocal only] We used to know each measured part A pinch of grace, a beating heart But time erased what we once knew And now I taste it less in you [female alto vocal only] Still I come back when the kettle sings Lay out the cups, remember things Love’s not lost—it’s just misplaced Needs a dash of time, a warmer place [Shared male/female duet] Let’s find the recipe we forgot Still simmering low in the love we’ve got [Outro – female alto vocal only] Yea, still simmering low In the love we’ve got
