Quiet Measure

[Intro]
Step softly in, the candle’s flame is kind
A melody of welcome fills the air
Leave the world’s cold hurry far behind
Here every heart finds warmth beyond compare

[Verse 1]
I seek no throne, no echo of acclaim
Your gentle knowing is my truest crown
The open hearts saw light, the shadowed came
Each knew me by the measure of their own
Evenings hold us in a golden hush
While seasons turn like pages softly read
We walk a path where love will never rush
Yet treasures slip through fingers gently spread

[Pre-Chorus]
I rest upon the earth’s eternal breast
No veil, no artifice, just truth’s embrace
The timeless sea whispers: be your best
And glide in grace at your own quiet pace

[Chorus]
Time drifts like petals on a silent stream
Chasing the heart that beats in steady rhyme
We build our nests, then follow every dream
Yet home is where the soul reclaims its prime
Sundays of youth still shimmer in the dawn
Their laughter weaves a thread that lingers on
I’ll bear the light for every wandering soul
Till peace returns and gently makes us whole

[Verse 2]
My imperfections glow like honest stars
No hidden thorn to wound the trusting hand
My steadfast loves outlast the fleeting scars
My quiet flame warms those who understand
I thought four walls would cradle endless rest
Instead they sent my spirit out to roam
The morning’s smile, once bright and richly dressed
Now paints the eve in hues of coming home

[Pre-Chorus]
I smile to shelter every tender spark
While pouring warmth till every shadow fades
I give until the silence lights the dark
And joy returns in every note we’ve played

[Chorus]
Time drifts like petals on a silent stream
Chasing the heart that beats in steady rhyme
We build our nests, then follow every dream
Yet home is where the soul reclaims its prime
Sundays of youth still shimmer in the dawn
Their laughter weaves a thread that lingers on
I’ll bear the light for every wandering soul
Till peace returns and gently makes us whole

[Bridge]
Let the strings ascend like morning’s golden veil
Let the piano fall like dew on quiet leaves
In the hush between two heartbeats without fail
Love’s endless song forever interweaves

[Final Chorus]
Though small I stand, yet priceless are the few
Whose names are carved in light upon my core
Through every loss, their constancy shines through
A hearth that burns when journeys ask for more
Sundays abide in every breath we share
A child’s delight beyond the weight of care
All around, the melody endures
Crystal clear, forever pure and yours

[Outro]
Humming…
All around…
Crystal clear…
Timeless friend…
