I took the long way home just to see you

I took the long way home just to see your face Streetlights painted gold, couldn’t slow my pace Every step I took, I was counting down Till the moment your arms would wrap around And the world falls quiet when you’re near Every sound fades out, all I hear Is your voice, so soft and clear [Full acoustic strumming, warm bass guitar, and brushed snare with a gentle backbeat. Soft piano chords fill the stereo sides. Vocal doubles on key phrases for emphasis.] Baby, we could dance in the morning light Two hearts beating, holding tight Even if the night turns into day I’ll still be here, I won’t walk away Baby, with you, everything feels right Like the stars sparkle brighter tonight [Back to fingerpicked guitar with subtle shaker on quarter notes. Pad swells a bit brighter, cello sustains underneath.] You’ve got that way of making the small things shine The way you smile when you’re pouring out the wine We talk for hours till the time just slips And your hand fits so easy into mine And the world falls quiet when you’re near Every sound fades out, all I hear Is your voice, so soft and clear Baby, we could dance in the morning light Two hearts beating, holding tight Even if the night turns into day I’ll still be here, I won’t walk away Baby, with you, everything feels right Like the stars sparkle brighter tonight Leave the noise and all the lights behind Feel your heartbeat running into mine In your eyes, there’s a vow I understand That we’ll be safe in our love Baby, we could dance in the morning light Two hearts beating, holding tight Even if the night turns into day I’ll still be here, I won’t walk away Baby, with you, everything feels right Like the stars came down tonight Yeah, with you, everything feels right Like the stars came down tonight
