---------------------------- Lyrics by : Kathlene Rushing © 2025 Kathlene Rushing All rights reserved. ---------------------------- (Modern Jazz-Pop Blues Ballad) [Intro – Instrumental: Smoky sax over soft piano chords] [Verse 1 – Warm, mellow vocal] Raindrops fall like memories, Gone before we even know. The moon still pulls the ocean, Like the past that won’t let go. Leaves change just like lovers do, The seasons always spin. I pour a cup, light one up, Feel that same old ache again. [Pre-Chorus – Subtle build] Every goodbye sounds like a song, Every shadow feels like it belongs... [Chorus – Emotional, mantra-like] There are echoes in everything. In the way we laugh, the way we cry. There are echoes in everything. Old souls dance in a stranger’s eyes. Truth don’t always shout — Sometimes it sings… Low and slow… Echoes in everything. [Verse 2 – Deep, reflective tone] A tree splits the sky like a story, Like lines across a weathered face. I tell myself to let it go, But some echoes never leave that place. Footsteps on familiar streets, Same turns with different names. Every twist just brings me back To a love I never quite reclaimed. [Pre-Chorus – Gentle tension] The patterns keep repeating still, As if time has its own will... [Chorus – Repeated with harmony] There are echoes in everything. In the morning train, the midnight call. There are echoes in everything. What we build, and what must fall. The truth don’t always shout — Sometimes it sings… Soft and slow… Echoes in everything. [Bridge – Instrumental sax solo over walking bass and brushed drums] (Let it breathe, soulful and wandering) [Final Chorus – With vocal layering and rising feel] There are echoes in everything. In the cracks of time, in the way we speak. There are echoes in everything. In a broken ring, or the words we keep. You don’t need to chase the truth — It’s already within… Whisperin’ low… Echoes in everything.
