I think this is his best performance of this song. The original video is so moving.

Introducing the heartfelt country EP "Where Her Light Shines", a poignant two-track journey through love, loss, and enduring hope. Featuring the soul-stirring "Your Love Will Never Be Mine," a lament of grief and longing after a cherished departure, and the titular "Where Her Light Shines," a tender tribute to a love that persists beyond the storm.

[Verse 1]
Lyin' still, my breath runs slow,
Shadows waltz against the glow.
I see you there, cloaked in black,
Come to guide, no turnin' back.
My road was long since she was gone,
Since fate made me walk alone—
But 'fore you take me, angel near,
Let me speak of the one I hold dear.

[Chorus]
She was my sun, my dawn each day,
My heartbeat in every tune I’d play.
We were young, but the storm was cruel,
Tore her from me, broke every rule.
I raised our kids with shakin’ hands,
Did all I could to meet her plans.
Stayed true through years of rain and time,
Beneath that cloud... where her light still shines.

[Verse 2]
We were just twenty-two and brave,
Vowed our love by the pinewood grave.
Her laugh rang out like Sunday bells,
Her eyes, like stars, cast quiet spells.
But fever struck on one dark night,
Stole her smile, her gentle light.
Worst day I’ve lived, that final breath—
I still dream of her kiss in death.

[Chorus]
She was my sun, my dawn each day,
My heartbeat in every tune I’d play.
We were young, but the storm was cruel,
Tore her from me, broke every rule.
I raised our kids with shakin’ hands,
Did all I could to meet her plans.
Stayed true through years of rain and time,
Beneath that cloud... where her light still shines.

[Bridge]
I worked the land, I spoke her name
Each time the wind would call again.
Her wedding ring stayed on my chest,
A vow unbroken, never guessed.
The children grew, they found their way—
But I still felt her every day.
And every night I whispered low,
"Take me, angel—I’m ready to go."

[Verse 3]
You lean in close, your hood pulled down,
My breath gives way without a sound.
Her face, her eyes, her tender grace—
The years all melt in her embrace.
"You never walked alone," she says,
"I watched you through your darkest days.
Now take my hand, no more to roam—
It’s time, my love. Let’s fly home."

[Final Chorus]
She was my sun, my dawn each day,
My heart in every song I’d play.
Though far away, she stayed so near—
Her voice the wind I longed to hear.
"You honored me," she whispers light,
"Now take my hand, we’ll chase the night."
Together now, through stars and time—
Where her love lives... and her light still shines.

[Outro]
So here we go, her hand in mine,
No more pain, just peace divine.
My angel, my bride, my only one,
The lonely road at last is done.
With every step, the dark unwinds—
Forever bound, where her light still shines.
