John

Описание: [Intro]
The hallway light still glows the way you left it
Your laugh echoes in the walls we all shared in

[Verse 1]
You’d fix the leaky faucet at three a.m.
Bring soup to the tenant who couldn’t pay the rent
You knew every name, every person's favorite treat
Turned cold hallways into streets where neighbors meet
You hung the Christmas lights in the entry hall
Helped the new tenant move in and get installed
Said “this building’s not walls, it’s a family”
We didn’t know how much we needed you till you left

[Chorus]
Oh John, our village keeper, you held us all together
Turned strangers into friends, made the whole place better
Judy’s heart’s still aching for your morning coffee kiss
But we’ll keep your light burning, never let it miss
You built more than a home, you built a place to belong
We’ll carry your kindness, sing your song

[Verse 2]
You’d sit on the steps and talk about your youth
How you learned to fix things, and make them run like new
You’d listen to the young folks complain about their lives
Said “patience is a tool, keep it sharp as a knife”
You decorated the halls when no one cared
Left sticky notes with jokes when we were scared
You never asked for thanks, just a wave or a smile
That was enough to make it all worthwhile

[Chorus]
Oh John, our village keeper, you held us all together
Turned strangers into friends, made the whole place better
Judy’s heart’s still aching for your morning coffee kiss
But we’ll keep your light burning, never let it miss
You built more than a home, you built a place to belong
We’ll carry your kindness, sing your song

[Bridge]
Judy, we see you sitting by the door
We’ll help you out, sharing memories galore
John's hands still guide us in the little things we do
Like when we help the elderly carry their shoes
We’ll keep the village going, just like you taught us to
Every neighbor’s a friend, every friend’s family too

[Final Chorus]
Oh John, our village keeper, you held us all together
Turned strangers into friends, made the whole place better
Judy’s heart will heal, we’ll hold her through the mist
We’ll keep your light burning, never let it miss
You built more than a home, you built a place to belong
We’ll carry your kindness, sing your song

[Outro]
The hallway light still glows the way you left it
Your love stays with us, in every part of it
