Windows On Willow Street (Version 2)

Verse

Grandma's rocking chair still sits by the pane

Moth-eaten curtains soft from years of rain

The porch light hums like a old man singing low

Same four steps creaking where the kids used to go

Pre-Chorus

So what if some windows fog up slow

So what if memories don't let them go

Some things stay lit just for tonight

Windows on Willow Street, catching all our light

Chorus

Every window tells a story still

Grass remembers laughter from before the hill

Someday this house may fade to dust and gray

But tonight it's holding onto summer days

Verse 2

Your boots on my porch step, gravel crunch beneath

You say the crickets sound like someone else

Aunt Ruby left her keys right here by the door

I don't need a map when I've been walking these floors since before we were grown

Pre-Chorus

So what if some windows fog up slow

So what if memories don't let them go

Some things stay lit just for tonight

Windows on Willow Street, catching all our light

Chorus

Every window tells a story still

Grass remembers laughter from before the hill

Someday this house may fade to dust and gray

But tonight it's holding onto summer days

Bridge

Maybe walls have ears if we believe

Maybe porch swings remember what they mean

Some nights are just old enough to hold us tight

Keep shining through these panes like daylight

Chorus

Every window tells a story still

Grass remembers laughter from before the hill

Someday this house may fade to dust and gray

But tonight it's holding onto summer days
