Your Smile, My Light

[Verse 1]
I found your picture in a drawer today
The one we took by the bay that May
I thought I’d buried every piece of you
But memories don’t ask for permission to break through

We were more than just some spark that burned
You were the page in every lesson learned
My best friend, my northern star
Now, I wish I knew exactly where you are

[Pre-Chorus]
And though you’re gone, I still hear your laugh
Playing like a record through the cracks

[Chorus]
Your smile is still my light
When the world forgets to shine
When I’m lost, I close my eyes
And you’re standing there in time
I tried to shut you out to heal
But it only made the pain more real
Now I see — your memory’s not a fight
It’s the cure, not the wound…
And your smile is still my light

[Verse 2]
We danced in storms, we laughed through pain
You knew my soul like blood in a vein
You held my dreams when I lost faith
You were the calm inside my quake

I ran from you, thinking time would numb
But grief don’t fade, it just goes numb
And every love since then felt like a lie
‘Cause they don’t look at me the way you did that night

[Pre-Chorus]
They say move on, but they don’t get
Some ghosts are blessings we never forget

[Chorus]
Your smile is still my light
When I’m drowning in the night
Even though we’ve said goodbye
You still hold the better side
Of who I was, and who I’ll be
You’re still the best part left in me
And though we lost the final fight
Your memory gives me strength to rise
‘Cause your smile…
Yeah, your smile is still my light

[Bridge]
I thought forgetting was survival
But I was wrong — you’re revival
The love we had, it doesn’t fade
It hides in songs we never played

[Final Chorus]
Your smile is still my light
Through every dark and endless night
When the crowd fades and I’m alone
You remind me I’m not gone
I won’t erase the joy we knew
‘Cause every heartbeat leads back to you
So I’ll keep you close, never out of sight
And your smile will always…
Always be my light

[Outro]
I buried the past to protect my heart…
But it turns out…
You were the cure from the start.
