[Instrumental Intro] [Piano introduces the melody. Pedal steel answers as acoustic guitar establishes the waltz.] [Verse 1] You showed me an old sketchbook You’d kept since seventeen; A willow by the river, A house I’d never seen. You said, “I thought I’d paint someday, Put my name beneath a frame.” Then you closed that faded cover, Like you shouldn’t feel that way. [Pre-Chorus] I slid it back across the table, Said, “Show me one more page.” You smiled and pulled your chair up close; I could’ve stayed there all day. [Chorus] There’s room for your dreams, Right here beside mine; We can move a little furniture, We can make a little time. You can fill these walls with color, I’ll be proud of what you do; There’s room for your dreams, And I’ll make that room with you. [Instrumental Turnaround] [Pedal steel carries the chorus melody into a gentle piano fill.] [Verse 2] That spare room held the winter coats, Some boxes and a chair; By Sunday, there was room enough To set an easel there. You stood barefoot in the doorway, With your coffee getting cold; Then you kissed me with that smile of yours I’d missed more than you know. [Pre-Chorus] Now there’s blue upon your fingers, And a sunset taking shape; I watch you working by the window, Till you turn and catch my gaze. [Chorus] There’s room for your dreams, Right here beside mine; We can move a little furniture, We can make a little time. You can fill these walls with color, I’ll be proud of what you do; There’s room for your dreams, And I’ll make that room with you. [Instrumental Interlude] [Fiddle takes the melody over a gentle waltz. Pedal steel answers; piano adds delicate upper-register fills.] [Bridge] When I dreamed of my own workshop, You believed before I did; You helped me hang that hand-painted sign, Then you stood there taking pictures. I still keep one in my wallet, You’re beside me, smiling wide; Now I want to be the one Standing proudly by your side. [Final Chorus] [Full band opens gently; close harmony vocals join.] There’s room for your dreams, Right here beside mine; We can move a little furniture, We can make a little time. You can fill these walls with color, I’ll be proud of what you do; There’s room for your dreams, And I’ll make that room with you. [Outro] [Drums soften; piano and acoustic guitar support the final vocal.] Someday, when you sign that canvas, Put it where the light comes through; I’ll be standing there beside it, Still falling in love with you. There’s room for your dreams… And I’ll make that room with you. [Instrumental Ending] [Pedal steel reprises the title melody. Piano and fiddle resolve softly on D.]
