You Are My Everyday Melody(response to 12Gauge858 My Bedtime Lullaby)

[Intro — spoken, tired but grateful, acoustic guitar and soft porch piano] Long day tried to follow me home again… But you were waiting there with that easy warmth in your eyes like you already knew what I didn’t wanna say. Mmm. You don’t just love me… you hold my whole world steady. [Verse 1] I come in with bags on my arms and the weight of the whole day on my back Hair pulled up and heart in pieces and my mind keeps running off the track You take one look at my face and say, “Baby, you can rest” Then your hands find my waistline and I melt against your chest You don’t ask me to be perfect you don’t need some polished girl You just turn on that soft light like a halo in my world [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause peace ain’t always a place Sometimes it’s a strong, kind man And after all this world drains from me you help me breathe again [Chorus] You are my everyday melody Sweet as a prayer at the end of the night When my whole heart’s been stretched too thin you pull me close and you hold me tight Baby, you stand by me You are my everyday melody [Verse 2] I start talking ’bout the hard parts but you don’t let me drown too long You say, “Tell me what you’re thankful for” then laugh till my fear feels wrong You stock the fridge with bright peaches crisp apples lined in a row Spinach, berries, sweet tomatoes little colors saying, “Girl, you’re home” You cook up peppers in the skillet fresh greens and carrots on the side Pour me tea with lemons floating like you wanna heal me from inside You don’t mind my tangled stories you just listen till they fade You remind me I’m your woman not the worries that I made [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause peace ain’t always a place Sometimes it’s your steady breathe And after all this noise chases me you’re the quiet that I keep [Chorus] You are my everyday melody Sweet as a prayer at the end of the night When my whole heart’s been stretched too thin you pull me close and you hold me tight Baby, you stand by me You are my everyday melody [Bridge — emotional lift, steel guitar swell] I ain’t saying I don’t break I ain’t saying I don’t cry But you got a way of finding me when the storm rolls through my mind You bring blankets from the dryer you bring strawberries to my bed You kiss worry off my forehead like you’re reading what’s unread You don’t fix me with quick answers you don’t rush me through my tears You just love me in the quiet through the soft and louder years If heaven ever sent me shelter it walked in holding your hand And I thank God every evening for the way you always stand [Final Chorus — bigger but still tender] You are my everyday melody Sweet as a prayer at the end of the night When my whole heart’s been stretched too thin you pull me close and you hold me tight You are my bedtime lullaby Soft as a song when you turn out the light From fresh-cut fruit in the morning time to holding me till it’s all alright Baby, you stand by me You are my everyday melody [Outro — whispered, acoustic guitar fading] You don’t let the long day win… You just hold me till I remember I’m safe. Mmm… My everyday melody.
