Intro Some nights leave their fingerprints on me, Too many thoughts I can't outrun. Then you walk through that doorway, And somehow the noise comes undone. You have a way of making peace Feel like something I can hold. Verse 1 I came home with the weight of the day, Still carrying words I wished I'd never heard. You looked at me and somehow knew Before I could explain a single word. You took my coat and hung it by the door, Put the kettle on and dimmed the lights. Then reached for my tired, trembling hands And made the whole world feel alright. Pre-Chorus Maybe peace ain't somewhere you find, Maybe it's a person who knows your heart. Someone who stays when you're falling apart And loves every piece, even the hardest parts. Chorus You are my bedtime lullaby, My porch light shining through the night. When this old world gets too heavy, You make everything feel right. You're the quiet at the end of my day, The place where all my worries fade. When my thoughts won't let me sleep, Your love is where my heart can breathe. You are my bedtime lullaby, My sweetest reason to say goodnight. Verse 2 I still remember that rainy evening, Your ball cap soaked, that crooked smile. My old Chevy quit beside the mailbox, But somehow you made it worth the while. We took the backroad past the water tower, Rain fading somewhere beyond the trees. You knew I didn't need a single answer, So you just reached across and stayed with me. Now you know I like my coffee sweet, And leave the hallway lamp on low. You know the song that makes me dance barefoot, And when the radio should play soft and slow. You know the little things I never say, Like when I need your hand in mine. And somehow after all this time, You still make my heart skip every time. Pre-Chorus When the dark comes creeping in And my courage starts to fade, You don't have to fix my whole world You just stay until I'm okay. Chorus You are my bedtime lullaby, My porch light shining through the night. When this old world gets too heavy, You make everything feel right. You're the quiet at the end of my day, The place where all my worries fade. When my thoughts won't let me sleep, Your love is where my heart can breathe. You are my bedtime lullaby, My sweetest reason to say goodnight. Bridge It ain't diamonds, it ain't gold, It's your jacket when I'm cold. Two coffee cups beside the sink, Your knowing what I'm about to think. Your boots beside mine by the door, Your truck pulling in and me smiling before. It's the way you hear my silence And never make me explain. You've seen my strongest days, You've seen me caught out in the rain. And every time life shakes me, You remind me where I belong. If these years turn silver someday, I hope your hand is still in mine. Final Chorus You are my bedtime lullaby, My shelter underneath the midnight sky. When the day has taken everything, You're where I finally let it go. You're the last light in the window, The familiar voice I know. When tomorrow feels too far away, You make tonight enough. You're always there for me, Steady as the stars above. And if this life gives me a thousand roads, I'll take the one that leads to us. Because wherever you are waiting, That's where my heart calls home. And when the whole world fades away, You're the last thing I want to know. [Saxophone solo]
