[Intro – whispered] Shh… tie this night with a ribbon of light. [Verse 1] Porcelain teacups on a windowsill, Postcard moon, little heart stands still. You write my name in a sugar smile, Tiny brave vows in a notebook style. Polka-dot dreams on a satin street, I blush at the rhyme when our pulses meet. If thunder talks, we’ll talk in rhyme, Count to three and borrow time. [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand—soft and slow, Breathe me in—don’t let go. [Chorus] Hold me tonight, under lace and starlight, Promise we’ll write our names on the sky. Hold me tonight, little heart in bright light, Whisper “be mine” and never ask why. [Verse 2] Paper crowns, lemon tea at two, Your laughing eyes paint the grey in blue. Mismatched socks, we still fit just right, Spelling our luck in the city light. If clocks run fast, let the waltz run free, We’ll steal a minute for you and me. I’ll sing your name like a lullaby, Kiss the commas in your sigh. [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand—soft and slow, Breathe me in—don’t let go. [Chorus] Hold me tonight, under lace and starlight, Promise we’ll write our names on the sky. Hold me tonight, little heart in bright light, Whisper “be mine” and never ask why. [Bridge – piano/strings, half-time] If the lights go shy, I’ll carry the glow, Fold my fears to paper planes and let them go. Close your eyes—hear our future start… Three… two… one—restart. [Final Chorus – lift] Hold me tonight, under lace and starlight, Promise we’ll write our names on the sky. Hold me tonight, little heart in bright light, Whisper “be mine”—we’ll never ask why. [Outro] Tie this night with a ribbon of light.
