RIGHT WHERE I BELONG Slow Reggae / Lovers Rock — ~70 BPM [Intro — soft guitar, warm bass] Yeah… Mmm… Come closer, baby… Don’t say nothing. Just stay right here. [Verse 1] I’ve been chasing down tomorrow, Like today was never enough, Carrying the weight of the world, Trying to prove that I was tough. But every road that I’ve been down, Every high and every fall, Taught me something I should’ve known— I already had it all. ’Cause when I walk through that door And I see your face, All the noise in my mind Just fades away. [Chorus] Right here in your arms Is right where I belong, I could search this whole world, baby, But I’d still come running home. When the lights burn low, And everybody else is gone, Just put your heartbeat next to mine… And we’ll keep dancing on. Ohhh, baby… If this life gives me a thousand roads, I know which one I’m walking on. The one that leads me back to you— Right where I belong. [Verse 2] We don’t need no perfect story, We got something better than that. We got scars nobody knows about, And memories we can’t get back. We’ve had nights we barely spoke, We’ve had mornings filled with tears, But somehow love kept saying, “I’m still right here.” And baby, look at us now, Still standing side by side. After everything that tried to break us, We still got that fire inside. [Pre-Chorus] So turn the lights down low, Put that old record on. Let me hold you like the first time Before another night is gone. [Chorus] Right here in your arms Is right where I belong, I could search this whole world, baby, But I’d still come running home. When the lights burn low, And everybody else is gone, Just put your heartbeat next to mine… And we’ll keep dancing on. [Instrumental — guitar + saxophone] Ohhh… yeah… Nice and slow, baby… Don’t let go… [Bridge — drums drop out] One day this house might get quiet, And the children all move on. Pictures on the walls will remind us Just how fast the years have gone. Maybe my hands won’t be as strong, Maybe your hair turns silver too… But if these old legs can still move, I’m saving one last dance for you. [Beat Returns] And I’ll pull you close… Like I always do. Whisper in your ear… “Baby, I’d still choose you.” [Final Chorus] Right here in your arms Is right where I belong, After all these years together, You’re still my favorite song. And when the lights burn low, After everybody’s gone, Put your heartbeat next to mine… We’ll keep dancing on. And if God gives me another life, Another chance to start… I won’t need a map to find you, baby. I’ll just follow my heart. [Outro — fade] Yeah… Through the good days… Through the hard days… Through the young days… Till our old days… Still you. Still me. Still dancing… Right where I belong. ❤️
