PUT THE CALENDAR DOWN (Fade Out) by Tina Hagar

[SONG META: Genre=R&B diva ballad | BPM=78 | Feel=6/8 slow groove | Key=D major | Mood=sensual, grounded, present]

[INTRO: Dmaj9–F♯m7/C♯–Bm9–Gmaj9 | Rhodes, soft toms, guitar harmonics]
[Female Voice: low, amused, intimate]
There you go planning us again.

[VERSE 1: Dmaj9–F♯m7/C♯–Bm9–Gmaj9 | rounded bass enters]
You booked the table, checked the traffic,
Left the address by the phone;
Made a list of summer weekends,
Found the weeks we both are home.
I adore the way you mean it,
How you build before you leap;
But your pen is still between us,
And your tea is getting weak.

[PRE-CHORUS: Em9–F♯m7–Gmaj9–A13sus | brushes lift, soft stacks]
We can solve the coming months
When morning opens up the blinds;
For tonight, come sit beside me—
Let the future wait in line.

[CHORUS: Dmaj9–A/C♯–Bm9–F♯m7–Gmaj9–F♯m7–Em9–A13 | rolling drums, wide harmonies]
Put the calendar down,
Let your hands remember mine.
Put the calendar down,
We are here at the same time.
No appointments, no reminders,
Nothing later to arrange;
Put the calendar down,
Love me where the minutes stay.

[VERSE 2: Dmaj9–F♯m7/C♯–Bm9–Gmaj9 | muted guitar answers]
You close the cover, move it over,
Take the cushion from my chair;
Ask me what I noticed lately,
So I tell you: silver there,
At your temple, when you listen;
How your left brow lifts for truth;
All the details that a schedule
Never has the sense to use.

[PRE-CHORUS: Em9–F♯m7–Gmaj9–A13sus | strings enter]
We can solve the coming months
When morning opens up the blinds;
For tonight, stay here beside me—
Let the future wait in line.

[BRIDGE: Bm9–F♯m/A–Gmaj9–D/F♯–Em9–F♯m7–Gmaj9–A13 | drums drop, cello rises]
Plans are how we honour distance,
Presence is how love gets fed;
So leave one square completely empty,
Write “us” across it in your head.
[Female Voice: long melisma on “fed,” then emotional belt]

[FINAL CHORUS: Emaj9–B/D♯–C♯m9–G♯m7–Amaj9–G♯m7–F♯m9–B13 | whole-step lift, full drums and strings]
Put the calendar down,
Let your hands remember mine.
Put the calendar down,
We have reached the perfect time.
No appointments, no reminders,
Only breath and honest sound;
[Female Voice: soaring belt and one earned whistle note]
You put the calendar down.

[OUTRO: Amaj9–B13–E6/9 | Rhodes resolves, clean ending]
Tomorrow can wait. Tonight, you stayed.
