Light on the Stairs
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Morning finds the old wood floor
dust that spins by the landing door
small gold flecks that drift and rise
nothing shines like you in my eyes

[Pre-chorus]
Every year the light comes back
finds you standing on that track
and something in me starts to sing

[Chorus]
Charles, the room lights up for you
every word we say is true
nobody warms a house like Charles
count us lucky, count the marbles

[Verse 2]
You climb the steps the way you do
taking your time, the whole way through
and every step has held your name
today we say it loud again

[Chorus]
Charles, the room lights up for you
every word we say is true
nobody warms a house like Charles
count us lucky, count the marbles

[Bridge]
Blow the horns and let it swell
raise a glass, we've got a lot to tell
you're the reason we all came
so we're shouting out your name

[Chorus]
Charles, the room lights up for you
every word we say is true
nobody warms a house like Charles
count us lucky, count the marbles

[Outro]
Dust still dances on the stair
but the warmest light is you, right there
