Darlene
Style: Piano pop

[Verse 1]
You stacked the boxes, turned the grey to gold
Drew crowns from paper, brave and bold
Didn’t wait for bells or parade
Just made a party where you stayed

[Pre-chorus]
The drums hum low, the hats take flight
You laughed right through the longest night
And turned the concrete into light

[Chorus]
Darlene, Darlene, you shine so true
The world was quiet, but you broke through
No throne, no fanfare, just your way
You turned the ordinary into day

[Verse 2]
You didn’t ask for perfect skies
Just turned the dust to fireworks’ eyes
Sang off-key, danced in worn-out shoes
Made every moment feel like new

[Bridge]
They’ll forget the boxes, fade the drums
But never how you turned it all to hums

[Chorus]
Darlene, Darlene, you shine so true
The world was quiet, but you broke through
No throne, no fanfare, just your way
You turned the ordinary into day

[Outro]
The hats still drift where you stood
And the concrete remembers you
