Bobby
Style: Motown soul

[Verse 1]
You walked in late, coat still damp with rain
But the room went quiet—then burst again
No one cared about the paper chains
Just the way your laugh could lift the pains

[Pre-chorus]
We were waiting, not for cake or light
Just to hear your voice cut through the night
So let the chairs keep scraping on the floor

[Chorus]
Bobby, Bobby, light the room again
Turn the grey to gold, let the music bend
Bobby, hear the whole world sing your name
You’re the reason this whole hall feels the same

[Verse 2]
You didn’t need a spotlight, bright or grand
Just a chair, a grin, a steady hand
That made strangers feel like kin
Made the quiet ones step in

[Pre-chorus]
We were waiting, not for cake or light
Just to hear your voice cut through the night
So let the chairs keep scraping on the floor

[Chorus]
Bobby, Bobby, light the room again
Turn the grey to gold, let the music bend
Bobby, hear the whole world sing your name
You’re the reason this whole hall feels the same

[Bridge]
No one remembers what the cake looked like
But we all still hum the tune you’d sing

[Chorus]
Bobby, Bobby, light the room again
Turn the grey to gold, let the music bend
Bobby, hear the whole world sing your name
You’re the reason this whole hall feels the same

[Outro]
So let the chairs keep scraping, loud and free
That’s the sound of joy you left in me
