Songs for Celeste

Verse 1

You save the plates, not for show But because they hold what grows No parade, no blaring horn Just this quiet, steady form

Pre-chorus

You don’t need the crowd to know How your light won’t fade or bend You’ve already made it home

Chorus

Celeste, you’re the calm inside the noise Celeste, joy in every choice You turn the small to something true And the world breathes because of you

Verse 2

You stack the white like prayer Each one holding space somewhere No fanfare, no grand display Just the way you make it stay

Pre-chorus

You don’t need the crowd to know How your light won’t fade or bend You’ve already made it home

Chorus

Celeste, you’re the calm inside the noise Celeste, joy in every choice You turn the small to something true And the world breathes because of you

Bridge

So let the candles climb the air We’re singing loud — you’re always there

Chorus

Celeste, you’re the calm inside the noise Celeste, joy in every choice You turn the small to something true And the world breathes because of you

Outro

Stacked up high, still holding light That’s how you turn the dark to bright

Verse 1

You danced barefoot on the dashboard light Streamers caught like laughter in the air That old car hummed a midnight song And you sang louder than the stereo dared

Pre-chorus

Every twist of colour, every gleam Every wrong note you turned to gold You turn the ordinary into something wild

Chorus

Celeste, you light up the room With every step, you turn grey to blue Celeste, the whole world hums your tune And nobody sings quite like you do

Verse 2

You never needed a perfect scene Just a crumpled map and a half-full cup You made the quiet feel like a parade Turned the ordinary into euphoria

Chorus

Celeste, you light up the room With every step, you turn grey to blue Celeste, the whole world hums your tune And nobody sings quite like you do

Bridge

They say the best things aren’t bought or planned But built from joy you refuse to hide

Chorus

Celeste, you light up the room With every step, you turn grey to blue Celeste, the whole world hums your tune And nobody sings quite like you do

Outro

Still tangled there, still singing loud Your joy’s the streamer that won’t let go

Verse 1

Boxes piled high where the apples lay bruised No one saw gold in that tired view Then you walked in with a laugh so loud Turned every crate to a crown of light

Pre-chorus

You didn’t fix what was broken or worn You just danced through it, made it feel new And the whole world leaned in to hear you

Chorus

Celeste, you turn grey into gold Celeste, your joy’s the beat we hold The world’s got shadows, but you bring the spark So raise your glass, let the music mark

Verse 2

Straw hats and crates, the awning’s striped Rain almost fell, but you sang it dry No one knew how to celebrate this Till you showed them how to rise

Pre-chorus

You didn’t fix what was broken or worn You just danced through it, made it feel new And the whole world leaned in to hear you

Chorus

Celeste, you turn grey into gold Celeste, your joy’s the beat we hold The world’s got shadows, but you bring the spark So raise your glass, let the music mark

Bridge

They said the apples were past their prime You said no — they’re just ripe for rhyme

Chorus

Celeste, you turn grey into gold Celeste, your joy’s the beat we hold The world’s got shadows, but you bring the spark So raise your glass, let the music mark

Outro

Boxes still stand, but now they shine Like you — the light that turned them fine

Verse 1

Rain is falling soft and slow Two stones catch the light above Something gold spills on the path I walk it slower when I think of you

Pre-chorus

I've been carrying this all day Waiting for the dark to lift Wanting just to say your name

Chorus

Celeste, you are the light I trust You steady me, you calm the noise Celeste, I chose you like a rest Not a maybe, not a choice

Verse 2

You leave the window lit for me Even when I'm running late Nothing fancy in the gesture Just a warmth I lean on like a gate

Chorus

Celeste, you are the light I trust You steady me, you calm the noise Celeste, I chose you like a rest Not a maybe, not a choice

Bridge

I don't need the whole sky lit Just this small and steady glow You've never had to raise your voice For me to know

Chorus

Celeste, you are the light I trust You steady me, you calm the noise Celeste, I chose you like a rest Not a maybe, not a choice

Outro

The light still falls on those two stones And I still walk home slow

Verse 1

Green paint peeling on the post Rain coming down like it means the most Your boot found mine without a word That's when I knew you were the best

Pre-chorus

I've stood in plenty doorways alone Waited on trains, waited on phones But something in me finally rests

Chorus

Celeste, you steady me like nothing else No need to prove it, no need to test I found a calm I didn't expect Celeste, you're the one I chose, and the best

Verse 2

We didn't say much standing there Just let the quiet hold the air Your shoulder leaning into mine Felt more honest than any request

Chorus

Celeste, you steady me like nothing else No need to prove it, no need to test I found a calm I didn't expect Celeste, you're the one I chose, and the best

Bridge

I don't need the paint to shine I just need you close, on time Whatever comes, however slow I'll take your hand and call it home

Chorus

Celeste, you steady me like nothing else No need to prove it, no need to test I found a calm I didn't expect Celeste, you're the one I chose, and the best

Outro

Some post somewhere is rusting still Two boots touching, standing still

Verse 1

Rain finds every crack it can Brick walls dripping, no lamp on Still I'd rather stand right here Than be dry someplace you're not near

Pre-chorus

No light, but I don't need to see Just need you close and breathing free So say the word and I'll come in

Chorus

Celeste, you are my only rest Nobody else has passed the test I'd take this cold and this wet chest Just to lie down where you nest

Verse 2

Water runs down old brick lines Counting slow like passing time You laugh and it forgets to fall Warms this narrow, broken wall

Chorus

Celeste, you are my only rest Nobody else has passed the test I'd take this cold and this wet chest Just to lie down where you nest

Bridge

No candle here, no need for one You're the only steady sun Whatever storm decides to start

Chorus

Celeste, you are my only rest Nobody else has passed the test I'd take this cold and this wet chest Just to lie down where you nest

Outro

Let the tin roof take the rain I've got shelter in your name

Verse 1

A thin line of gold slips across the white rug tonight Stretching so soft through the smallest crack of light It moves like a hand that is smoothing your hair Telling you gently that you are held and you're cared

Pre-chorus

The whole wide house is breathing slow around you now Every small sound is settling, hushing somehow So close your eyes, love, and let the evening in

Chorus

Celeste, the light is folding soft against your chest Nothing in this quiet world will trouble your rest Celeste, you are the warmest thing that I have known Sleep now, my darling, you are never alone

Verse 2

The evening wraps around the room like a well worn coat Carrying you gently on its slow, steady float You don't need to open your eyes to know you're safe There is nowhere kinder than this small, quiet space

Chorus

Celeste, the light is folding soft against your chest Nothing in this quiet world will trouble your rest Celeste, you are the warmest thing that I have known Sleep now, my darling, you are never alone

Bridge

Every breath you take is a small and steady drum Soft as the hour when the last of the light has come You are the reason this whole night feels so kind

Chorus

Celeste, the light is folding soft against your chest Nothing in this quiet world will trouble your rest Celeste, you are the warmest thing that I have known Sleep now, my darling, you are never alone

Outro

The gold has gone soft now, spread thin across the floor Sleep, my Celeste, you are loved forevermore

Verse 1

Dust is drifting soft in the lamp light on the stair Turning slow like feathers that have learned to fall with grace Every little speck is floating without any care And you are held here safely in this warm and quiet place

Pre-chorus

The house breathes slow around you as the hour turns to rest Every corner softens as the dark comes settling in So let your eyes grow heavy, you have nothing left to prove

Chorus

Celeste, the light is fading gentle as a sigh Close your eyes and drift now, you're the calmest of the calm Nothing in this whole wide world could ever mean you harm Celeste, you are the softest star that ever touched the sky

Verse 2

The lamp upon the landing throws its glow across the floor Small and steady, patient, never asking to be seen You don't have to hold on to a single thing you saw today

Chorus

Celeste, the light is fading gentle as a sigh Close your eyes and drift now, you're the calmest of the calm Nothing in this whole wide world could ever mean you harm Celeste, you are the softest star that ever touched the sky

Bridge

Sleep is just the quiet folding gently over you Nothing that you carry needs to travel through the night

Chorus

Celeste, the light is fading gentle as a sigh Close your eyes and drift now, you're the calmest of the calm Nothing in this whole wide world could ever mean you harm Celeste, you are the softest star that ever touched the sky

Outro

The dust has settled softly and the lamp has dimmed to rest Sleep now, little one, you have always been my best

Verse 1

A slow white light is turning above the old iron rail Softly it circles while the whole dark house breathes low Nothing can reach you past the shadows growing pale You are the reason this small room glows so

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the night has nowhere else to be The dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin Let the light keep turning while I hold the quiet close to me

Chorus

Celeste, the whole night leans in soft to keep you warm Rest now, there is nothing here to fear Every shadow bends away before you come to harm Celeste, my only calm, my best is always here

Verse 2

Somewhere past the railing the stars are turning too Slower than your breathing, softer than a sigh You are held by everything that ever loved you Wrapped in a hush that never says goodbye

Bridge

Let your small hands loosen, let the day go still Nothing in the dark can take you from this warmth

Chorus

Celeste, the whole night leans in soft to keep you warm Rest now, there is nothing here to fear Every shadow bends away before you come to harm Celeste, my only calm, my best is always here

Outro

The light still turns above the railing, slow and true Sleep now, love. It will still be turning over you
