The Light of Day

[Intro] (Soft, rhythmic piano chords, a slow brushed drum beat, and a lonely, soulful saxophone) [Verse 1] Tonight you say I’m the only girl you see And your eyes are locked in a silent plea You hold my hand like it’s a fragile thing And I want to believe the joy you bring The moon is high and the world feels right But words come easy in the middle of the night. [Chorus] But will you know my name when the shadows go? When the coffee’s black and the sun is low? Is this a fire that’s gonna burn away? Or will you love me in the light of day? I need to know if this is real or gold Before the morning makes the world feel cold. [Verse 2] The streetlights flicker through the window pane While I’m trying to forget my old refrain I’ve heard these lines in a dozen different bars Under a thousand different silver stars You’re sweet as honey and you’re deep as wine But will you still be mine at half-past nine? [Bridge] (Music swells, drums get a bit heavier, soulful intensity) I’m not looking for a temporary high I’ve had enough of the "hello" and "goodbye" Don’t leave me standing in the morning dew Wondering if I ever really... really knew you. [Guitar Solo] (A bluesy, slow, melodic guitar solo with plenty of soul and reverb) [Chorus] Will you know my name when the shadows go? When the coffee’s black and the sun is low? Is this a fire that’s gonna burn away? Or will you love me in the light of day? I need to know if this is real or gold Before the morning makes the world feel cold. [Outro] (Slow and stripped back, just voice and bass) In the light of day... Don't walk away... Will you be there? When the sun hits the chair... (Deep, final saxophone note) [End]
