Ayla, Light the Room
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
Old shears resting on the bench
Three empty pots, a garden's stench
But nothing here has grown to waste
You turn plain dirt to something graced

[Pre-chorus]
So raise your glass and stamp your feet
We came tonight for you to greet
The kind of joy that won't sit still

[Chorus]
Ayla, Ayla, here's to you
A steady hand, a heart that's true
Nobody fills a room like Ayla
Come on and cheer, don't you delay, uh

[Verse 2]
You plant the seeds nobody sees
You kneel down low and mind your knees
Whatever's broken, you repair
And somehow make it feel like care

[Chorus]
Ayla, Ayla, here's to you
A steady hand, a heart that's true
Nobody fills a room like Ayla
Come on and cheer, don't you delay, uh

[Bridge]
Every year you're still the stayer
Still the one who lifts the player
Never one to fade or falter
Steady as a garden's altar

[Chorus]
Ayla, Ayla, here's to you
A steady hand, a heart that's true
Nobody fills a room like Ayla
Come on and cheer, don't you delay, uh

[Outro]
Those pots will fill, you'll see them grown
Ayla, this whole house is your own
