**\[INTRO: A single clean guitar note, rings out and dissolves into a warm synthesizers pad. Then the band swells in gently—brushed cymbals, a fretless bass slide, the short riff settling in.]** --- **\[VERSE 1 — Clean, electric guitar over a bed of soft backup guitar. Kick drum is understated, almost a heartbeat. Vocal is tender, intimate, close-miked.]** I was walking through the night Just a girl without a light you walked by, we bumped and you smiled Your beauty made my head go wild Yor eyes were magic, so soft and blue Then in a moment gone before I knew --- **\[PRE-CHORUS — Synth pads widen. A gentle snare fill with that big gated '90s reverb. Vocal lifts, smooth but aching, reaching.]** I turned around, you weren't there I looked around, just empty air My head was spinning, my heart on fire You were gone, my heart's desire --- **\[CHORUS — The arrangement growS with layered harmonies stack behind the lead vocal. The singer is SOARING, open-throated, full of yearning.]** GONE IN A HEARTBEAT! Gone in a flash of light! You lit my soul , then gone in the night! I'm head spinning out of control You tore a hole through into my soul Gone in a heartbeat— I swear I'll find you there Through the fire, through the rain, through the empty air I WILL FIND YOU AGAIN! --- **\[VERSE 2 — Stripped back. Just piano, a whisper of synthesizers, and the voice. Fretless bass hums underneath. Vocal is tender, breaking softly, vulnerable.]** i Cant sleep when i close my eyes I see your face in every disguise I'm so consumed, my memory true Every dream leads back to you I'm lost, I'm breaking, i'm coming undone i'm a girl just chasing the sun --- **\[PRE-CHORUS — Snare builds with that big, round, gated reverb. Clean guitar climb. Vocal is a passionate REACH now, still controlled, still beautiful.]** I called out, but no one heard I called for you, not a single word My heart's an engine ripping free Your the only thing that's real to me --- **\[CHORUS — Fuller, richer. Backing vocals in lush, stacked harmonies, lifting the melody.]** GONE IN A HEARTBEAT! Gone in a flash of light! One smile, that look, swallowed by the night! I'm mind spinning out of control you took my heart, you have my soul! Gone in a heartbeat— I swear upon my pulsing blood Through the dark, through the pain, through the fire , and the flood I WILL FIND YOU AGAIN! --- **\[BRIDGE — Band DROPS OUT. Just the vocal, bare over one clean guitar note ringing with long, warm tone. A faint synth underneath.]** Then through the crowd , it was true there you were, looking at me - too your smiled bright, you came to me. youbtook my hand, You set me free. **\[Two beats of silence. The singer draws a breath.]** --- **\[FINAL CHORUS — KEY CHANGE UP A FULL STEP. Everything LIFTS. The rhythm opens up, big and round. The singer is SOARING, hitting the highest, most open note of the song, pure and ringing.]** FOUND IN A HEARTBEAT! Found in a flash of light! You walked out of the dark and made it all right! The spinning stopped, the loneliness done With you in my arms, You are the one! Found in a heartbeat— And I will never let go you are the search, through the years, through the high and the low, no more fears WE ARE FOREVER! *WE ARE FOREVER!* **WE ARE FOREVER!** --- **\[SAXOPHONE SOLO — 4 bars. A warm, singing alto sax, melodic, drenched in reverb, crying and tender. Then the band lifts gently back in for one last chorus repeat, and the whole thing begins a long, slow fade.]** --- **\[OUTRO — Band rides the chords, slowly receding. Singer ad-libs gently, breathy, spent: "Found you… I found you… never letting go… never…" A final shimmering cymbal wash.. Fades to silence.]**
