Looking at you from across the room
Each time you turn I quickly look away
Words stuck in my throat
Like a butterfly trapped behind glass
Up here where the stars shine bright
My trembling hands hold this simple truth
That I've carried far too long
The city feels different tonight
When I'm standing next to you
Every light below tells me
What my heart already knew
That this moment changes everything
If I just find the courage to speak
Your smile lights up this garden space
As petals dance in evening wind
Time slows down when you're near
Everything feels like a first
The words finally break free
Like autumn leaves in gentle breeze
No turning back now
The city feels different tonight
When you're standing next to me
Every light below tells me
What my heart already knew
That this moment changes everything
And I finally found the words to speak
Years pass like falling rain
Sweet mornings turn to quiet days
What once burned bright now softly glows
Till even that light starts to fade
The city feels different tonight
Now that you're no longer here
Every light below reminds me
Of the truth I always knew
That some moments change everything
Even when the words don't stay
