“Where My Heart Comes Home”
[Intro: Gentle fingerpicked guitar, soft wind, distant fiddle]
Mm…
Come a little closer, love…
[Verse 1]
I met you where and when neither of us knew
Just what our hearts were about to do.
I saw you smile at me, and I knew somehow,
It’s a smile I’d see through the crowdedest of rooms.
Now the days can run and the nights can roam,
But your hand in mine feels a lot like home.
[Pre-Chorus: Soft drum enters, voice rising]
I don’t need the stars to tell me
What I feel when you’re beside me.
Every road I’ve wandered down
Led me to this moment now.
[Chorus: Full acoustic strum, warm harmonies, gentle shanty sway]
You’re where my heart comes home,
Where I can lay these heavy days down slow.
When the world gets loud and the cold winds blow,
Oh, hold me close, oh, hold me close.
And if the whole wide sky comes falling,
I’ll be there in any time of need.
Through every high and every low,
You’re where my heart comes home.
[Verse 2: Fingerpicking, soft fiddle answering]
There’s a thousand things I love in you:
The way you laugh, the way you pull me through.
And when your eyes have seen too much,
I’ll sit beside you till the morning comes.
You don’t have to hide the parts that ache;
I’ll love the whole of you, whatever it takes.
[Pre-Chorus: Building drums, low humming]
Let the rain come down around us,
Let the long nights try to drown us.
I’ll be your shelter, you’ll be mine;
We’ll find our way, one day at a time.
[Chorus: Fuller drums, harmonies swell]
You’re where my heart comes home,
Where I can lay these heavy days down slow.
When the world gets loud and the cold winds blow,
Oh, hold me close, oh, hold me close.
And if the whole wide sky comes falling,
I’ll be there in any time of need.
Through every high and every low,
You’re where my heart comes home.
[Bridge: Music falls to guitar and raw vocal]
If your voice gets lost, I’ll listen.
If your light grows dim, I’ll stay.
And when I need your arms around me,
I know you’ll meet me halfway.
[Final Chorus: Stomps, swelling fiddle, soaring harmonies]
You’re where my heart comes home,
Where I can lay these heavy days down slow.
When the world gets loud and the cold winds blow,
Oh, hold me close, oh, hold me close.
Let the years roll on like water,
I’ll keep choosing you tomorrow.
Through every high and every low,
You’re where my heart comes home.
[Outro: Guitar fades, whispered]
My heart comes home… to you.
