Intro
Verse 1
I Still Leave The Hallway Light On
Though There's No One Coming Home
Some Nights I Hear The Old Floor Creaking
And Forget That I'm Alone
Verse 2
Your Coffee Cup Is In The Cupboard
Where I Left It Years Ago
Funny How The Smallest Things
Are The Hardest Things To Let Go
Verse 3
I Thought The Years Would Teach Me
How To Carry On Somehow
But Time Can Change A Thousand Things
It Hasn't Changed You Now
Chorus
I've Known Other Hands,
I've Walked Other Roads
I've Watched The Seasons Come And Go
I Told Myself That I Was Finally Free
That The Past Was Where It Ought To Be
But Somewhere Underneath These Years
Your Memory Still Lives Here
Now I Know What I Could Never Prove
No One Ever Came Close To You
Nothing Could Replace You Nothing Ever Will
I've Spent A Lifetime Moving On
And Somehow Love Stood Still
Verse 4
I Remember Sunday Mornings
Rain Against The Window Glass
You Would Hum Beside The Fire
While The Whole World Wandered Past
Verse 5
There Was Nothing Extraordinary
In The Way You Said My Name
But I Would Give This Life I've Lived
To Hear It Just Once Again
Verse 6
The Photograph Is Fading
But Your Eyes Are Still The Same
And Every Road I Travelled
Somehow Led Me Back Again
Verse 7
I Used To Call It Weakness
To Remember What Was Gone
Now I Think Perhaps Some Memories
Are Simply Meant To Carry On
Chorus
I've Known Other Hands,
I've Walked Other Roads
I've Seen The Cities No One Knows
I Built A Life And Learned To Smile
I Thought I'd Buried You After All This While
But When The Evening Settles Down
And Silence Fills This Empty House
There Is One Truth I Can't Undo
No One Ever Replaced You
Nothing Could Replace You
Nothing Ever Will
I've Spent A Lifetime Moving On
And Somehow Love Stood Still
Verse 8
My Hair Has Turned To Silver
The Years Have Left Their Mark
I've Learned That Growing Older
Doesn't Make The Distance Dark
Verse 9
I've Forgiven What I Couldn't
I've Accepted What I Lost
Some Things Are Not Forgotten
No Matter What They Cost
Verse 10
I Don't Need You To Return Now
I Don't Need Another Chance
I Finally Stopped Pretending
That Every Love Can Be Replaced
Bridge
Maybe Love Was Never Meant
To Disappear Completely
Maybe Some Hearts Leave A Mark
That Time Cannot Defeat
And If I Could Go Back There
I Wouldn't Ask You To Stay
I'd Only Tell You What I Couldn't
When You Walked Away
You Were The One I Didn't Know
I Would Spend My Life Remembering
Chorus
I've Known Other Hands
I've Walked Other Roads
I've Watched This Old World Change And Grow
And I Don't Regret The Life I've Lived
Or All The Things The Years Have Given
But Standing Here Beneath This Morning Sky
I Finally Understand Why
Some Loves Don't Need Another Day
To Prove They Never Went Away
Nothing Could Replace You
And I Don't Need It To
I Finally Made My Peace With That
And I Can Say It Now
Outro
I Loved You I Lost You
I Carried You This Far
And After All These Years
I Know Exactly What You Are
The One Love No One Could Replace
The House Is Quiet Now The Morning Light Is New
I Close The Door Behind Me And I Don't Look Back
Nothing Could Replace You
