[Verse 1] Some people walk into your life And somehow make the world feel right Not with promises or grand displays But in all the little, ordinary ways You’re the “how are you?” when the day gets hard The “how’s your mom?” when life leaves a scar You remember the things I sometimes forget And somehow you’re always checking in yet You show up when you can You listen when you’re there And somehow just knowing you care Makes the heavy feel a little less heavy Makes the lonely feel a little less lonely And I hope you know what you mean to me [Chorus] You are a little more light in my life A little more laughter when the world isn't kind A little bit of magic, a little bit of crazy A friend who reminds me that life can be amazing From Sailor Moon dreams to anime nights K-pop playing underneath colorful lights Cosplay, movies, Japan on your mind You bring your own kind of wonder to life And I'm thankful, more than words can say That somehow our paths crossed along the way You're not just a friend I happen to know You're one of the people I never want to let go [Verse 2] You can talk about your favorite groups Your favorite shows and all the characters too And I love the way your whole face changes When you're excited about the things you love You dream about Japan And all the places you'd go The lights, the streets, the culture All the things you want to know You put on a costume And become someone new But somehow underneath it It's still completely you A little silly A little sweet A little chaotic And completely unique And maybe that's the magic Maybe that's the gift You remind the people around you That life is meant to be lived [Pre-Chorus] And when my world gets overwhelming When I don't know what to say You're one of those familiar lights That never seems to fade [Chorus] You are a little more light in my life A little more laughter when the world isn't kind A little bit of magic, a little bit of crazy A friend who reminds me that life can be amazing From Sailor Moon dreams to anime nights K-pop playing underneath colorful lights Cosplay, movies, Japan on your mind You bring your own kind of wonder to life And I'm thankful, more than words can say That somehow our paths crossed along the way You're not just a friend I happen to know You're one of the people I never want to let go [Bridge] And I hope you know You don't have to earn your place You don't have to fix the world Or always have the right thing to say You don't have to carry everyone To prove that you care Sometimes just being Bethanne Is more than enough right there You've checked on me You've checked on Mom You've stayed when things were difficult You've helped me keep moving on And I may not always say it But I notice every time Every message, every question Every little “are you alright?” [Quiet Break] So if someday you forget How much you mean I hope this song reminds you Of everything I've seen The kindness The laughter The heart underneath The woman who makes the people she loves Feel a little less alone when they breathe [Final Chorus] You are a little more light in my life A little more laughter when the world isn't kind A little bit of magic, a little bit of crazy A friend who reminds me that life can be amazing Keep your Sailor Moon Keep your anime nights Keep dancing to K-pop Under neon lights Keep dreaming of Japan Keep being exactly who you are Keep finding little pieces of wonder Everywhere you go, near or far And I'm thankful, more than words can say That you're one of my dearest friends today Through the good, the bad, the messy and true I'm incredibly grateful that life gave me you [Outro] So here's to every conversation Every laugh and every day Here's to every time you checked on me And every word you chose to say You're a little more light A little more color A little more wonder In a world that sometimes needs it And Bethanne, if you ever wonder Whether you're loved and appreciated too— I hope you hear it in this song: I'm so damn grateful That I get to call you My friend. ❤️
