VERSE 1 We dragged the chairs out after dinner, down into the yard, Leaving all our worries behind, letting go of what was hard. The fire took a minute, then it flickered into glow, The woodsmoke filled the autumn air, sweet and soft and slow. The kids stayed up past bedtime, laughing in the chill, Nobody brought up going in, time stood completely still. Some nights just ask you not to end, they hold you in their grace, And you learn to recognize the magic in this place. **PRE-CHORUS** Don't let the fire die down yet Don't let the night close in Pull your chair a little closer Let's stay here a little longer Let's stay here --- **CHORUS** Firepit nights, smoke in your hair Firepit nights, October in the air The stars are out and nobody's checking the time The kids are half asleep and you are half in my arms And I am all the way in love with this life Firepit nights with you VERSE 2 You poked the dying embers just to watch them catch the light, Somebody found the marshmallows to sweeten up the night. The conversation drifted anywhere it cared to go, No schedules left to follow and no place we had to show. I looked around at everything we’ve built along the way, These chairs, this yard, these people—far beyond what words can say. And something in me quieted, a calm without a sound, The sweetest kind of quiet where true comfort can be found. PRE-CHORUS Don't let the fire fade out into embers, This is a evening that everyone remembers. Pull up your chair and draw a little near, Let's hold onto the warmth while we are here. Let's stay right here. CHORUS Firepit nights, smoke in your hair, Firepit nights, October in the air. The stars are shining bright and nobody’s keeping time, The kids are fast asleep and your hand is placed in mine. I'm so deeply in love with this picture-perfect view, Firepit nights with you. BRIDGE (slow and tender) This is the moment I’ll hold in my heart, When the kids are all grown and we’re sitting apart. Not the big grand occasions or noise from the crew, But this spark in the dark, and this night, and this you. The way the soft light danced across your face, The way the autumn cold embraced this space. We didn't need a thing under the sky, Except to let this peaceful moment fly. FINAL CHORUS Firepit nights, smoke in your hair, Firepit nights, October in the air. The stars are shining bright and nobody’s keeping time, The kids are fast asleep and your hand is placed in mine. I'm so deeply in love with this picture-perfect view, (TAG) Firepit nights, Don't let the embers lose their glow, Stay right here and hold on slow. Firepit nights with you.
