[Verse 1] Morning settled softly on the windowsill, Dust danced golden where the world stood still. Your old sweater’s hanging by the cedar door, Funny how a house remembers more than we do. I traced our names through frost upon the glass, Watched the seasons promise they would never last. Leaves gave up their colors one by one, But somewhere deep, the roots held on. [Pre-Chorus] Some things fade into the snow, Some things learn which way to grow. [Chorus] You’re evergreen, Growing through the quiet in between. When the wild winds stole the summer sky, You were the reason winter felt alive. Even when the branches bent unseen, You stayed evergreen. Time can paint the world in different shades, But love like yours never fades. [Verse 2] There’s a trail behind the old pine trees, Still knows the rhythm of our seventeen. Every little secret that we left behind Sleeps beneath the needles, safe with time. Now strangers pass without a second glance, Never knowing this was once our chance. The river keeps on humming our refrain, Like it forgot we’re not the same. [Bridge] Maybe we’re just stories that the forest keeps, Folded into rings beneath the oldest trees. If tomorrow takes my name away, The evergreens will still remember every day. [Final Chorus] You’re evergreen, The only thing the cold could never leave. While the maples traded fire for gray, You found another way to stay. If every ending grows into a dream, Then meet me where the forest breathes… You’ll always be Evergreen. [Outro] When the first snow covers every memory, I’ll look for the one color it couldn’t reach.
