[Verse] The autumn leaves fell soft around the old stone stair, Your hand in mine, the evening air was cool but fair, I pulled a ring from worn-out cloth, heart laid bare, But laughter broke the quiet, floating on a prayer. [Pre-Chorus] You smiled like sunshine through a rain-soaked cobweb, And all the world paused in the hope that we had kept. [Chorus] On these church steps, where the moment slipped away, I found a truth no promises could ever say, Laughter ringing clear, like an honest serenade, On these church steps, love’s not always what we’ve made. [Verse] We sat in shadows, tracing dreams in fading light, Your eyes were stories, wild and tender in the night, No words of gold, just laughter falling soft and bright, A different kind of vow beneath the churchyard’s height. [Pre-Chorus] And in that laughter, something real awoke inside, A bond that no ring could ever hope to hide. [Chorus] On these church steps, where the moment slipped away, I found a truth no promises could ever say, Laughter ringing clear, like an honest serenade, On these church steps, love’s not always what we’ve made. [Bridge] Maybe love’s just a story we keep rewriting, Sometimes it’s tears, sometimes it’s a smile inviting, No need for diamonds when the heart’s in flight, On these steps, with you, the wrong feels right. [Chorus] On these church steps, where the moment slipped away, I found a truth no promises could ever say, Laughter ringing clear, like an honest serenade, On these church steps, love’s not always what we’ve made. [Outro] So here’s to all the stumbles, the laughter and the chance, On these church steps, we learned how to dance.
