Your Love Beside Me (Gospel Soul)

[Verse 1] You kept the blue cup by the kitchen sink, The one with the hairline crack along the side. You said the little things were worth their place, And made a home where no one had to hide. [Pre-Chorus] Now every road I took comes back to you, A quiet kindness shining through. [Chorus] At the pearly gates, if I should find you there, I’ll know you by the way you say my name. No crown, no grand arrival, nothing rare— Just your open arms, unchanged. And if heaven has a doorway made of light, I’ll walk through with your love beside me. [Verse 2] You left your old coat folded on the chair, And notes in books with grocery lists between. I hear your laugh whenever rain comes down, And see your patient hands in what you’ve seen. [Pre-Chorus] The miles can’t take the good you gave away; It finds me in the smallest things each day. [Chorus] At the pearly gates, if I should find you there, I’ll know you by the way you say my name. No crown, no grand arrival, nothing rare— Just your open arms, unchanged. And if heaven has a doorway made of light, I’ll walk through with your love beside me. [Bridge] Till then, I’ll set another place, Keep your stories close and warm. Every gentle thing you taught me Is a shelter from the storm. [Final Chorus] At the pearly gates, when I can find you there, I’ll know you by the way you say my name. No fear, no grand arrival, nothing rare— Just your open arms, unchanged. And if heaven has a doorway made of light, I’ll walk through with your love beside me. [Outro] Your love beside me. Your love beside me.
