+ Show full styles

[INTRO — DELICATE SOLO GRAND PIANO]
[SOFT EXPRESSIVE CELLO ENTERS]
[SPACIOUS ORGANIC 6/8 FLOW]
[TENDER SUSPENDED HARMONIES]

[VERSE 1 — FEMALE SOLO]
[CLOSE, AIRY, WARM AND UNGUARDED]
[DELICATE NATURAL PHRASING]

You said you wanted to stay
And I believed you then
Still I caught myself about to ask
If you'd say it again

You saw it in my face
And smiled before I spoke
I laughed at how you knew the words
Before I even chose

[VERSE 2 — MALE SOLO]
[LIGHT WARM TENOR, INTIMATE AND UNFORCED]
[GENTLE ENTRANCES, FLOWING LEGATO]
[ALLOW PHRASES TO LINGER AND FADE NATURALLY]

I nearly said it twice
To make it sound more sure
But you were sitting next to me
I didn't need to anymore

I'd spent so long rehearsing
Everything I'd say
Then I heard you start to laugh
And let the silence stay

[PRE-CHORUS — TWO DISTINCT VOICES]
[GENTLE MELODIC EXCHANGE]

[Female — softly]
I thought I'd feel so different

[Male — tender, unhurried]
I thought I would too

[Female — gentle melodic rise]
And maybe something changed

[Male — soft lingering release]
When I finally told you

[CHORUS — INTIMATE FEMALE AND MALE EXCHANGE]
[COMPLETE MELODIC PHRASES]
[NATURAL EMOTIONAL LIFT]

[Female]
The quiet changed

[Male — softly sustained]
I felt it too

[Female]
It used to leave me wondering

[Male — warm and intimate]
Now I'm here with you

[Both — TENDER TWO-PART HARMONY]
We don't have to know tomorrow
Or hurry through today

There's something in the silence
That wasn't there before

[Both — GENTLE MELODIC SUSTAIN]
The quiet changed

[INSTRUMENTAL — GRAND PIANO AND SOLO CELLO]
[CELLO ANSWERS THE VOCAL MELODY]
[PIANO DEVELOPS THE OPENING MOTIF]
[SPACIOUS NATURAL TIMING]

[VERSE 3 — FEMALE SOLO]
[WARMER, MORE OPEN, NATURAL EXPRESSION]

I still get a little nervous
You probably can tell
I look away sometimes
Then catch myself and smile

I used to think the silence
Meant something wasn't right
Now I can sit beside you
And let it have its time

[VERSE 4 — MALE SOLO]
[SOFT NATURAL TENOR]
[LIGHT RESONANCE, UNHURRIED LEGATO]
[GENTLE ONSETS AND LINGERING PHRASE ENDINGS]

And I still lose my words
When something matters most
I start to tell you everything
Then wonder where to go

But you don't rush to answer
Or finish what I say
You let me find my way through
And somehow that's enough

[CHORUS — MELODIES BEGIN TO INTERWEAVE]
[PRESERVE BOTH INDIVIDUAL VOCAL CHARACTERS]

[Female — tender]
The quiet changed

[Male — flowing, delicate sustain]
I felt it too

[Female]
It used to leave me wondering

[Male — intimate melodic answer]
Now I'm here with you

[Both — WARM NATURAL TWO-PART HARMONY]
We don't have to know tomorrow
Or hurry through today

There's something in the silence
That wasn't there before

[Both — BEAUTIFULLY SUSTAINED]
The quiet changed

[INSTRUMENTAL — EXPRESSIVE PIANO AND CELLO]
[PIANO RETURNS TO THE OPENING MELODY]
[CELLO DEVELOPS A TENDER COUNTERMELODY]
[SUBTLE HARMONIC TENSION AND RELEASE]

[BRIDGE — EXPOSED, VULNERABLE VOCALS]
[EXPRESSIVE PHRASING WITHOUT FORCED VOLUME]

[Female — close and unguarded]
I was afraid you'd hear me
And not feel the same

[Male — gentle onset, soft legato]
I was afraid to tell you
And watch it all change

[Female — delicate melodic lift]
And now we're sitting here

[Male — warm, sustained response]
With nothing left to hide

[Female — tender]
I still don't know tomorrow

[Male — quiet and sincere]
Neither do I

[Both — FULL EMOTIONAL HARMONY]
I don't need forever
To be here with you tonight

[BRIEF INSTRUMENTAL BREATH]
[CELLO HOLDS A LONG FALLING PHRASE]
[PIANO GENTLY LIFTS INTO FINAL CHORUS]

[FINAL CHORUS — DEEPLY FELT, NATURAL RELEASE]
[EXPRESSIVE BUT NEVER THEATRICAL]

[Female — soft and sustained]
The quiet changed

[Male — tender flowing legato]
I felt it too

[Female]
It used to leave me wondering

[Male — quietly assured]
Now I'm here with you

[Both — FULL INTIMATE TWO-PART HARMONY]
We don't have to know tomorrow
Or hurry through today

There's something in the silence
That wasn't there before

[Both — LONG GENTLE SUSTAIN]
The quiet changed

[INSTRUMENTAL — PIANO ANSWERS THE VOCALS]
[CELLO CONTINUES THE MELODIC THOUGHT]

[OUTRO — RETURN TO NEAR-WHISPERED INTIMACY]

[Female — gently]
I can hear you now

[Male — soft entrance, lingering release]
And I can hear you

Even in the quiet
