Her Echo is All That's Left

(written 2024 David W Litwin)

Verse 1

We used to laugh in the kitchen light,

Bare feet dancin’ on those quiet nights.

Her voice sang through these halls,

But silence replaced her siren's call.

I hear her in the wind sometimes,

A whisper caught in a love song rhyme

Chorus

Her echo is all that’s left,

Like a song that lingers on my breath.

Now She’s gone,

The ghost in every song.

Her words, her touch

An empty pillow where she slept

Her echo is all that’s left.

Verse 2

Coffee’s cold where her cup once sat,

Her chair still rocks

I’m okay with that.

The floor now creaks when I’m alone,

Like her shadow calls this place home.

Time moves on, while I fight to find,

Her memory alive

in my mind.

Chorus

Her echo is all that’s left,

Like a song that lingers on my breath.

Now She’s gone,

The ghost in every song.

Her words, her touch

An empty pillow where she slept

Her echo is all that’s left.

Bridge

I could paint this house, burn the past away,

But I’d miss her ghost more than I’d say.

Sometimes the pain is all I’ve got,

‘Cause what’s worse than love that’s forgot?

Chorus

Her echo is all that’s left,

Like a song that lingers on my breath.

Now She’s gone,

The ghost in every song.

Her words, her touch

An empty pillow where she slept

Her echo is all that’s left.
