A Father's Legacy ~ The Melody of Forever

The Melody of Forever (Country Song)
[Verse 1]
In a dusty old shop down a Texas lane,
Two hearts found each other like sunshine through rain.
By an old mantle clock with a golden face,
Time stood still as they claimed their place.
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock chimed out a tune, soft and low,
Marking the start of a love meant to grow.
[Chorus]
That clock sang their story, their joy, and their pain,
A melody sweet through storms and the flame.
From the first spark of love to their final goodbye,
The clock kept on singing as the years rolled by.
[Verse 2]
With calloused hands, he worked the land so wide,
She kept the home, with their boys by her side.
Three sons raised up 'neath a strong Texas sky,
The clock chimed proud as the years flew by.
[Pre-Chorus]
It rang for their laughter and cries in the night,
And held on through trials when nothing felt right.
[Chorus]
That clock sang their story, their joy, and their pain,
A melody sweet through storms and the flame.
From the first spark of love to their final goodbye,
The clock kept on singing as the years rolled by.
[Bridge]
But time ain't kind, and her health slipped away,
Her soft voice grew weaker with each passing day.
The clock’s tune grew lonesome, like clouds 'fore the rain,
It echoed his heart, heavy with pain.
[Verse 3]
She said, “Darlin’, forever don’t mean we’re apart,”
Her words were the last gift to soothe his heart.
When his time came 'round, he knew what he’d find,
Her arms and the clock ringing love unconfined.
[Final Chorus]
That clock sang their story, their joy, and their pain,
A melody sweet through storms and the flame.
From the first spark of love to their final goodbye,
The clock kept on singing as the years rolled by.
[Outro]
On the day he passed, the clock rang one last song,
A tune for their love that stayed strong all along.
Now silent it stands, with their story so clear,
In the hearts of their kin, their love’s always near.
