(Soft electric piano chords, light ambient vinyl crackle)
Yeah, you know it’s for you
Just you, my love
Listen close now
I wake up and the sunlight hits the pillow where you lay
I whisper quiet prayers just to start another day
Your heartbeat is the rhythm that I’m dancing to inside
With you, there’s nowhere left for all my shadows left to hide
I remember how you looked the night the stars began to lean
Down to catch a glimpse of all the beauty I have seen
In the way you hold my hand, in the way you say my name
Life before you felt like paper, now it’s burning like a flame
Oh, Bea, you’re the melody I hum when I am low
The only steady light in all the places that I go
My heart is anchored firmly in the harbor of your soul
You took the broken pieces and you made the spirit whole
Yes, you’re my steady ground, you’re my ocean, you’re my sky
I’ll love you till the ending of the final lullaby
My Bea, my only one, my everything so true
There’s no other destination, it will always lead to you
We talk about the future like a painting in the hall
We’re building up a fortress so we’ll never have to fall
I love the little things, the way you laugh at all my jokes
The way you keep me grounded when the world just clouds and smokes
I’m grateful for the silence that we share between the lines
It’s better than the poetry or all the classic rhymes
You give me strength I didn’t know I had beneath my skin
You’re the only open door I’m ever looking to walk in
Oh, Bea, you’re the melody I hum when I am low
The only steady light in all the places that I go
My heart is anchored firmly in the harbor of your soul
You took the broken pieces and you made the spirit whole
Yes, you’re my steady ground, you’re my ocean, you’re my sky
I’ll love you till the ending of the final lullaby
My Bea, my only one, my everything so true
There’s no other destination, it will always lead to you
And if the mountains crumble, or the rivers start to dry
I’ll keep on loving you beneath a different kind of sky
Time is just a circle, but you’re the center of the ring
And for you, my lovely Bea, this is the song I have to sing
(Guitar solo, smooth and melodic)
Oh, Bea, you’re the melody I hum when I am low
The only steady light in all the places that I go
My heart is anchored firmly in the harbor of your soul
You took the broken pieces and you made the spirit whole
Yes, you’re my steady ground, you’re my ocean, you’re my sky
I’ll love you till the ending of the final lullaby
My Bea, my only one, my everything so true
There’s no other destination, it will always lead to you
It’s always you, Bea
Just you, my love
From now until the end of time
My heart, my home
Always you
(Fade out with soft piano melody)
