The Sweetest Sound

Verse 1

I heard the sweetest sound today

It stopped me where I stood

Everything just faded out

And for a moment, you were here

I never knew a sound could hold

So much weight, so much truth

But the second that I heard it

It carried me to you

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t see it coming

Didn’t know it’d hit me that way

Just a word someone said

Turned into everything

Chorus

It was your name

Falling soft like rain

Through a crowded room, through all my pain

It was your name

And for a moment you were here again

Not a memory, not a dream

Just something I could almost reach

Yeah, I heard heaven call you the same

It was your name

Verse 2

I stood there trying not to show it

But my heart gave in

Every letter felt like home

Every sound pulled me in

People talking all around

Like nothing even changed

But I was holding onto pieces

Of the life we made

Pre-Chorus

Funny how a moment

Can take you years away

One word opens up doors

You thought had closed one day

Chorus

It was your name

Falling soft like rain

Through a crowded room, through all my pain

It was your name

And for a moment you were here again

Not a memory, not a dream

Just something I could almost reach

Yeah, I heard heaven call you the same

It was your name

Bridge (strip it back)

Now I say it in a whisper

Hoping you’re still near

Like a prayer I keep repeating

Just to feel you here

If love could answer back

If time would just stay

I’d live inside that moment

When I heard your name

Final Chorus (lift)

It was your name

And it still remains

In every breath I take, in every day

It’s your name

Keeping you close in every space

Not just gone, not just past

You’re in every sound that lasts

And I’ll never hear it the same

Since your name

Outro

I heard the sweetest sound today…

It was your name
