“We Left the Door Unlocked…” — Michael Bennett and His Wife Tell Their Story in Song

“We Left the Door Unlocked” — Michael Bennett and His Wife Sing Their Story They left the door unlocked every night… not because they forgot, but because they were afraid their children might finally come home and find it closed. 💔 This is the emotional story of **Michael Bennett and his wife**, told through a heartfelt duet about aging parents, an empty home, years of waiting, and the love that never stopped hoping for one more pair of headlights in the driveway. Every evening, Michael checks the window while his wife sets an extra place at the table. The porch light stays on. The door stays unlocked. They never ask for apologies, explanations, or repayment for the years that passed. They only want their children home. But time keeps moving. As Michael grows weaker, he still falls asleep in his chair listening for a car outside. Even near the end, his final concern is simple: “Don’t lock the door, they may come late.” Then, one rainy night, their child finally drives home. The porch light is still burning. The door is still unlocked. But one of the people who spent years waiting behind it is no longer there. *“We Left the Door Unlocked”* is a deeply emotional song about parents and children, growing old, family regret, forgiveness, missed time, and realizing too late that someday there may be no one left waiting for you to come home.
