(A soft, passionate acoustic ballad — gentle finger-picked guitar, warm candlelight strings, and a voice like a tender secret shared with the night) Verse 1 I sit with the quiet that fills up the room Watching candlelight flicker and sway The silence wraps around me like an old familiar friend And I feel the gentle ache of another day I speak to the stars the way I always do Telling them secrets I keep deep inside And even in the stillness, my heart stays true Holding space for the love that might one day arrive Pre-Chorus I’m not chasing shadows, I’m not forcing the tide Just letting this wish rise soft and wide Chorus I wish for someone who would love me The real me, the quiet me, the messy and the free Someone who stays when the world gets cold Who holds my hand and doesn’t let go In the hush of the evening, my soul softly sings This tender wish that love is out there… wishing for me too Verse 2 I’ve walked through seasons of laughter and rain Danced in the light and felt the quiet pain But no one has lingered when the music grew still No one has stayed for the ordinary thrill I’m learning to cherish the woman I’ve become To trust that love moves in its own gentle way And even when the nights feel a little too long I leave room in my heart for the wish of that day Pre-Chorus I’m not asking for fireworks lighting the sky Just someone who sees me with soft, steady eyes Chorus I wish for someone who would love me The real me, the quiet me, the messy and the free Someone who stays when the world gets cold Who holds my hand and doesn’t let go In the hush of the evening, my soul softly sings This tender wish that love is out there… wishing for me too Bridge Maybe they’re wishing too In their own quiet corner of the night Two hearts sending wishes Through the same soft starlight Final Chorus (even softer, then blooming with warmth) I wish for someone who would love me The real me… the one who’s been waiting patiently And when the wish finds its way to my door I’ll know every quiet night was worth waiting for I’ve been alone for a while… but this wish still glows bright ‘Cause love is patient, love is kind And love is still out there… softly wishing for mine
