[Intro] I used to think the morning light Was just the ending of the night Now open curtains let us see That you are waking next to me [Verse 1: Intimate, Fingerpicked Acoustic Guitar] Your shirt is draped across the chair The morning steam is in the air Your coffee’s getting cold and sweet You tell a tale from down the street I laugh and gently pull you near You whisper what I love to hear A sudden kiss upon my cheek No need for either one to speak [Pre-Chorus 1: Warm Rhodes & Cello Enter] We spent so long inside the shade Afraid of every choice we made No longer pulling down the blind We leave the hiding far behind [Chorus: Full Band Swell, Huge Warm Earworm Hook] Here in the light, here in the day I hold you close, won't turn away No more disguise, no more to hide I see my world right at your side! Here in the light for all to see You’re not my secret, you are home to me! And though tomorrow brings the unknown I’ll walk with you, I’m not alone! [Verse 2: Gentle Drum Groove, Playful Warmth] You steal my favorite denim coat And leave an ink-stained little note You say I’m far too quiet still I say you’re wild upon the hill We burn the morning toast and laugh And tear the yesterday in half I think about the man I grew Before the world was blessed with you [Pre-Chorus 2: Building Emotional Confidence] I thought that love was losing grace A compromise of time and space You never asked for someone new Just asked to stay and be with you [Chorus: Full Band Swell, Huge Warm Earworm Hook] Here in the light, here in the day I hold you close, won't turn away No more disguise, no more to hide I see my world right at your side! Here in the light for all to see You’re not my secret, you are home to me! And though tomorrow brings the unknown I’ll walk with you, I’m not alone! [Instrumental Break - Melodic Acoustic Guitar & Cello Solo] [Bridge: Music Drops to Acoustic Strum, Tender & Vulnerable] The whispers called us in the dark We turned their judgment to a spark We built a sanctuary sweet Where every broken heart could meet And look at us, no shadows fall We need no hiding place at all I love you true, in broad daylight With all my soul, with all my might! [Final Chorus: Maximum Emotional Peak, Full Harmonies] Here in the light, here in the day We stand right here, won't turn away! Not untouched by the grief or pain Still hand in hand through wind and rain! Here in the light for all to see You’re not my secret, you are home to me! And though tomorrow brings the unknown I’ll face it all, I’m not alone! [Outro: Stripped to Solo Acoustic & Gentle Vocal] The shadows break, the morning stays Across our quiet sunny days No longer asking what was meant Here in the light, I am content ......"You're home to me."
