[Intro — spoken, soft but certain, acoustic guitar and gentle piano] Long day tried to follow you home again… But I was waiting there with this little knowing smile ’Cause I already saw what you were trying to hide. Mmm. I don’t just love you… I memorize the cracks inside you. [Verse 1] You come in with dust on your boots and the weight of the whole world on your back Phone still buzzing in your pocket like old ghosts trying to pull you back I take one look at your face and say, “Baby, leave that at the door” Then my hands find your shoulders like they’ve done a thousand times before You don’t have to be perfect you don’t need some polished plan I fell hard for every flaw that makes you more than just a man [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause peace ain’t always a place Sometimes it’s holding shaking hands Through every high and low we’ve walked I’ve loved the whole of who you am [Chorus] Baby, you’re my everything Storms and the sunshine you always bring We’ve been broke down and flying high still you’re the truth in every lie Every new day that your eyes meet mine I fall in love like it’s the first time I don’t love you ’cause I need you near I need you ’cause my love is here Baby, you’re now and you’ll always be my everything [Verse 2] I remember when we had nothing just a small room and a secondhand bed Counting pennies, sharing headaches chasing big dreams that scared us half dead Fights at 2am in the kitchen over bills we didn’t know how to pay Then laughing through our tears ’til morning ’cause we chose to stay anyway You can be stubborn and proud you can get lost inside your head But I adore your gentle anger when it’s truth that’s being said You forget the little details but remember every hurt I’ve known You get quiet when you’re worried but you never let me face it alone [Pre-Chorus] So peace ain’t always a place Sometimes it’s crying in the dark Through every good and bad we’ve seen I’ve traced your name on my own heart [Chorus] Baby, you’re my everything Storms and the sunshine you always bring We’ve been broke down and flying high still you’re the truth in every lie Every new day that your eyes meet mine I fall in love like it’s the first time I don’t love you ’cause I need you near I need you ’cause my love is here Baby, you’re now and you’ll always be my everything [Bridge — emotional lift, violin and steel guitar swell] You forget where you put your keys but not the way I take my tea You run late for everything but you always make it home to me You get scared you ain’t enough but you’re the best I’ve ever known You say you don’t deserve this love but you built this heart we call our home We’ve had nights we almost broke days we thought we’d lose it all But every time you reached for me I swear I felt the heavens call If forever ever felt like truth it’s the way you say my name Every fall and every rise I’d still choose you just the same [Final Chorus — bigger but still tender] Baby, you’re my everything Storms and the sunshine you always bring We’ve been broke down and flying high still you’re the truth in every lie Every new day that your eyes meet mine I fall in love like it’s the first time I don’t love you ’cause I need you here I need you ’cause my love is clear Baby, you’re now and you’ll always be my first, my last, my in-between Baby, you’re now and you’ll always be my everything [Outro — whispered, acoustic guitar fading] They say you only love once… But every time I see your face, I fall again. You Are My Everything Lullaby
