[Intro – gentle jangly guitar riff, soft shaker] Sunlight spills through cracked window panes Dust motes dance where the cold wind wanes [Verse 1 – steady bassline, light drum brush taps] I was walking down that old brick street Your laugh caught me off my feet I meant to pass without a word But my tongue slipped, I didn't heard [Pre-Chorus – subtle keyboard swell, building warmth] The world slowed down to your smile For a second, I forgot the mile [Chorus – full band, bright guitar strums, layered vocals] By the way, I never told you that day Your eyes looked like the sky after rain By the way, I still think of that sway Of your coat in the wind, light and plain [Verse 2 – added tambourine, slightly louder guitar] I saw you later at the corner shop You were picking out a cherry pop I turned away to hide my grin Wondered if you'd let me in [Pre-Chorus – keyboard swells higher, drum beat picks up] The bell above the door rang out I froze, I couldn't move about [Chorus – more energetic, harmonies on the second line] By the way, I never told you that day Your laugh made the gray clouds fade away By the way, I still replay that sway Of your hair in the breeze, soft and gay [Interlude – jangly guitar solo, warm bass undercurrent] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped back, just vocals and acoustic guitar] I never worked up the nerve to say All the words I held that day But sometimes, when the wind blows right I swear I hear your laugh in the light [Chorus – full band, soaring harmonies, maximum warmth] By the way, I hope you know that day You made my ordinary world okay By the way, I still hold that sway Of that moment, bright and gay [Outro – fading guitar, soft shaker, final vocal hum] Sunlight fades through cracked window panes Dust motes rest where the cold wind wanes
