[Intro - piano only, tender and vulnerable, breathy hesitation before melody] Mmm... yeah... Come here... [Verse 1 - smooth crooner delivery, close-mic, deep resonant tone] Girl, I've seen a thousand sunsets fall, But none of them compare to you at all, [soft ad-lib: "no, no"] Every road I've walked led back to home, You're the only home I've ever known. [Pre-Chorus - building, voice rising in intensity, strings entering] So let the world outside keep spinning round, Right here with you is where I'm found. [Chorus - fuller vocal, gospel-tinged backing vocals, string swell enters, layered harmonies] I'll love you slow, I'll love you true, Every heartbeat, I'm giving to you, [ad-lib: "oh, yeah"] Through the dark, through every doubt, I'll be right here til the stars burn out. [Verse 2 - slower, intimate, rich baritone on low notes] I was hardened by the years gone by, But your touch taught this heart how to fly, [whispered ad-lib: "yeah, yeah"] No, I ain't perfect, baby, that's the truth, But my love for you, it never moves. [Pre-Chorus - building, voice rising in intensity, strings entering] So let the world outside keep spinning round, Right here with you is where I'm found. [Chorus - fuller vocal, gospel-tinged backing vocals, string swell, layered harmonies] I'll love you slow, I'll love you true, Every heartbeat, I'm giving to you, [ad-lib: "oh, yeah"] Through the dark, through every doubt, I'll be right here til the stars burn out. [Bridge - stripped back to just piano and voice, deeply vulnerable, near-whisper building to full voice] If I lose everything I own, If these hands end up worn and old, [ad-lib: "still..."] I'll have loved you with my whole heart, That's one thing death can't tear apart. [Final Chorus - key change climax, full wall-of-vocal harmony, gospel-tinged call-and-response backing vocals, orchestral strings swelling, cinematic] I'll love you slow, I'll love you true, Every heartbeat, I'm giving to you, [ad-lib: "I promise you, babe"] Through the dark, through every doubt, I'll be right here til the stars burn out, [ad-lib: "mmm... stars burn out..."] [Outro - reverb-drenched vocal, fading breathy ad-libs, tender dissolve] Yeah... til the stars burn out... Mmm... I'm yours...
