Golden Hour

[Verse 1]

Amber light sifts through the trees

We find our place as day declines

Chilled fingers tangled at my knees

Quiet laughter, autumn signs

You lean in close, saying nothing now

Breaths like wisps in the cooling air

Sunlight sketches on your brow

Wrapped in fire-colored flare

[Chorus]

Golden hour, lingering near

Snapshots folding every year

Laughter drifts with falling gold

I hold you close against the cold

[Verse 2]

Raise the lens, you tuck a strand

Evening soft in the look you send

Every path we traced by hand

Sheltered by the branches, bend

Your laughter rings while time unwinds

Knitted sleeves, a gentle hum

Our story framed in lines and signs

Day disappears, the night has come

[Chorus]

Golden hour, lingering near

Snapshots folding every year

Laughter drifts with falling gold

I hold you close against the cold

[Bridge]

Whether wandering, whether still

This fleeting hush, this gentle thrill

Everything I need you give

Spoken in the glance you live

[Chorus]

Golden hour, lingering near

Snapshots folding every year

Laughter drifts with falling gold

I hold you close against the cold

[Outro]

One more picture, never done

Changing seasons, trust we spun

Hold this autumn, draw it deep

Here is where our dreams all sleep
