The evening light

[Verse 1]
The evening light is on the wall,
The way it was when you were mine.
You’re gone — but fate can’t take it all:
I still have you, from time to time.
[Verse 2]
I feel your touch in every line,
The words you’d whisper, warm and true,
That velvet laugh, that glass of wine,
That summer sky — so wide, so blue.
[Chorus]
In the evening light, you come back somehow,
Just for a while, as shadows grow.
Oh, I know you’re gone — yes, I know it now
But evening light won't let you go.
[Bridge]
Your letters yellow, edges curled,
Like postcards from another world.
Their promises are dead and gone,
Still, amber keeps a trace of sun.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
I know I’ll never find the way
Back to that summer, sweet and slow,
And maybe now’s the time to say
Goodbye — and let the dreaming go.
[Chorus]
In the evening light, you come back somehow,
Just for a while, as shadows grow.
And I tell myself that you’re gone by now
But evening light won't let you go.
[Verse 4]
The evening light slides down the wall,
Just like it did when you were near.
And no one else will do at all —
You’re still the one I wish were here.
[Final Chorus]
In the evening light, you come back somehow,
Just for a while, as shadows grow.
And I know you’re gone, and I know it now…
But evening light won’t let you go.
