Songs for Amy

Verse 1

Plates stacked up beside the toaster Someone's counting out the candles Kitchen's small but no one's leaving We came here just to hold you closer

Pre-chorus

Something's building, can you feel it Every voice about to lift We're not waiting on the reveal, we're

Chorus

Amy, Amy, light the whole room Nobody burns as bright, so bloomin' Grinning like you don't believe it We keep loving you, we're not through

Verse 2

Someone spills a drink and laughs it off You're the one who wipes it dreamy Even chaos looks like magic When you're standing in the middle

Chorus

Amy, Amy, light the whole room Nobody burns as bright, so bloomin' Grinning like you don't believe it We keep loving you, we're not through

Bridge

Blow it out and make the wish count Every year we're glad we found you This whole kitchen's shouting your name Nothing here would work without you

Chorus

Amy, Amy, light the whole room Nobody burns as bright, so bloomin' Grinning like you don't believe it We keep loving you, we're not through

Outro

Plates still stacked beside the toaster Room still warm because you're in it

Verse 1

Slippers lined up wet and bright Under lights that hum and gleam Everybody feels it right You just walk in like a dream

Something in the room gets warm Every time you take the floor We been waiting since this morn

Amy, Amy, light the room Nobody shines quite the same Sweet as Amy, gone too soon Say it loud and say your name

Blue tiles shine beneath your feet Steam is rising off the floor You make ordinary sweet Make us all want one thing more

Amy, Amy, light the room Nobody shines quite the same Sweet as Amy, gone too soon Say it loud and say your name

Bridge

Blow the candles, make some noise Let the whole room raise a cheer Every year we get this joy Glad that you are always here

Chorus

Amy, Amy, light the room Nobody shines quite the same Sweet as Amy, gone too soon Say it loud and say your name

Outro

Slippers drying by the door We just wanted one thing more

Verse 1

Six paper cups up on the dash Streetlights buzzing, engine warm We drove till the gas light blinked Amy laughing through the storm

Pre-chorus

Every mile we made a memory Every stop you made it shine Now the candles won't stop flickering

Chorus

Here's to Amy, light the room Pour it out, don't ask us why Nobody else could make it dreamy Amy, Amy, don't ask why

Verse 2

You kept the radio turned up loud Sang the words we half forgot You made the cheapest night feel golden Talked us out of every knot

Chorus

Here's to Amy, light the room Pour it out, don't ask us why Nobody else could make it dreamy Amy, Amy, don't ask why

Bridge

Raise your cup if she's your reason Raise it if you don't know why One more year of you around here One more spark against the sky

Chorus

Here's to Amy, light the room Pour it out, don't ask us why Nobody else could make it dreamy Amy, Amy, don't ask why

Outro

Six cups gone but we remember Amy, keep that engine warm

Verse 1

Smoke is climbing off the ash Two jumpers hang out on the branch You are stood there rubbing your hands Nothing here has to be flash

Pre-chorus

I keep finding you in small things Your coat sleeve, your quiet laugh This is not the version people sing about

Chorus

Amy, you're the warmth I trust Not the fire, just the after of it However this year has treated us I still reach for you, Amy

Verse 2

Wool still smells of the walk home Your hand finds mine in the dark We let the last of the ash die down There's nowhere else I'd rather park

I keep finding you in small things Your coat sleeve, your quiet laugh This is not the version people sing about

Chorus

Amy, you're the warmth I trust Not the fire, just the after of it However this year has treated us I still reach for you, Amy

Bridge

Some loves need an audience Ours just needs a branch and smoke You've never asked me to prove a thing And that's the whole of what I mean

Amy, you're the warmth I trust Not the fire, just the after of it However this year has treated us I still reach for you, Amy

The jumpers will smell of smoke for days I'll still be glad you're wearing yours

Verse 1

Streetlights blur behind the glass Everything outside turns grey But I keep watching you instead You're the only clear thing here today

Pre-chorus

Something in this room feels different Something in the way you breathe I've been waiting all night to say

Chorus

Amy, you're the warmth I lean on Every window fogs but you stay near Nothing outside matters, Amy When the whole world blurs, you're always clear

You trace a circle on the glass Just to watch the light get through Simple things feel different now Because I'm only looking at you

Foam dries white along the sink you left in such a hurry, I think still I smile at what you leave small proof you were here with me

Amy, you don't need to try so hard you're already stitched into this yard Amy, in the smallest thing you do I find another reason I love you

Verse 2

The basin holds the morning light your toothbrush leaning, worn and slight I could clean it, wipe it clear but I like knowing you were near

Nobody sees what I see here how a small thing makes you clear and pulls this feeling closer, near

Rain is tapping soft on the canvas above your head Leaves are brushing gentle against the spokes by your bed Nothing out there can reach you, nothing can pull you away You are held here so closely till the morning of day

Chorus

Amy, Amy, close your eyes now and drift so slow Somewhere warm and dreamy is the only place you'll go Amy, hush now, let the dark wrap around you tight You are loved beyond measure on this quiet night

Verse 2

Every sound outside is only the night saying goodnight Every shadow on the wall is just dimming out of sight You don't need to worry, you don't need to keep watch I am here beside you till the morning comes soft

Pre-chorus

The rain keeps its rhythm like a hand upon your back Every breath grows slower as the sky turns soft and black So let the whole wide world go quiet, let it fade to blue

Verse 1

Rope creaks soft against the old post by the water Ripples touch the hull and hush before they roam Somewhere out beyond the harbour lights are dreamy You are held here safely, you are always home

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the small waves carry Every worry drifting far past where you lay Sleep is coming closer, warm and unhurried

Chorus

Amy, Amy, hush now, drift away Nothing in the dark can find you here tonight Amy, safe beside the water till the day Sleep now, little Amy, everything's alright

Wind is only humming low along the harbour Nothing here will wake you, nothing needs to stir Boats are rocking gently, slow as any dreamer You are wrapped in stillness, nothing troubles here

Someone's watching over you while the tide is turning No need to listen for a single thing but rest You are the calm the whole wide night is learning

Amy, Amy, hush now, drift away Nothing in the dark can find you here tonight Amy, safe beside the water till the day Sleep now, little Amy, everything's alright

Outro

Rope holds steady, the water settles too Sleep now, Amy, morning's coming soft for you

Verse 1

A yellow beam is sliding soft through the curtain of blue Falling slow on the mattress like it only came for you Nothing in the room is asking you to be anywhere else You are held in a hush that only night ever knew

Pre-chorus

The light is moving slower now, it settles as it goes Every breath you take is telling all your worry to close So let the last of the evening pour in gold across your toes

Chorus

Amy, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin Somewhere a small light is finding its way back in You are the warmest thing in this whole quiet house tonight Amy, sleep now, let the soft beam settle where you've been

Verse 2

The fabric turns the light the colour of a calm blue sea You are folded into evening as gently as can be Nothing out there in the dark has any claim on you You are exactly where the whole wide night wants you to be

Chorus

Amy, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin Somewhere a small light is finding its way back in You are the warmest thing in this whole quiet house tonight Amy, sleep now, let the soft beam settle where you've been

Bridge

Hush now, nothing is going anywhere, nothing will leave Every soft thing in this room was only ever here for you

Chorus

Amy, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin Somewhere a small light is finding its way back in You are the warmest thing in this whole quiet house tonight Amy, sleep now, let the soft beam settle where you've been

Outro

The yellow beam has faded now to almost nothing at all You are still the warmest thing this quiet house has known
