Lyrics
Dear you, the weather turned today First frost on the rooftops, the leaves gave way I walked past the cafe where we used to sit Same little table, but it doesn't feel the same with it They played our song, or one that sounded close Made me stop in the doorway with my coat half closed I won't say I'm broken, I'm just a little worn Missing you like morning in a city reborn I don't need an answer, I just need to say Dear you, you're still on my mind today Dear you, wish you were here Cold in the air, but you're still near Every little corner, every little light Reminds me of you on a quiet night Dear you, wish you were here Let the ache be soft, let the ache be clear Dear you, I kept your sweater on the chair Smells like lavender and a little cold air Phone on the pillow, screen goes dim Thumb on your name, but I don't send, just swim The city's all gold in the evening glow Train goes by with a lonely, low Hum like a hymn that I almost know I'd call you back, but I let it go I don't need an answer, I just need to say Dear you, you're still on my mind today Dear you, wish you were here Cold in the air, but you're still near Every little corner, every little light Reminds me of you on a quiet night Dear you, wish you were here Let the ache be soft, let the ache be clear Maybe in the spring, when the frost is gone We'll find a way to the same old song Till then I'll write it on the window pane Dear you, I'll wait, in the quiet and the rain Dear you, wish you were here Cold in the air, but you're still near Every little corner, every little light Reminds me of you on a quiet night Dear you, wish you were here Let the ache be soft, let the ache be clear Dear you Wish you were here
