Songs for Chase

Verse 1

Green wall glowing under tube light Folding chairs stacked left of sight Somebody grab a fiddle and play We came here for your special day

Pre-chorus

Boots are tapping on the floor Hands are reaching for the door Get up now, we want some more

Chorus

Chase, you light this whole dang place Nobody wears a bigger grace Clap your hands and stomp the space We're glad to know your happy face

Verse 2

Somebody's cousin plays guitar We hollered you from near and far You never sit too long in place You're first one up to start the chase

Bridge

Kick that chair right out the row Nowhere else we'd rather go Every year you pull the crowd Sing it now, sing it loud

Chorus

Chase, you light this whole dang place Nobody wears a bigger grace Clap your hands and stomp the space We're glad to know your happy face

Outro

Lights still hum against the wall This is the best one of them all

Verse 2

Cardboard box tied up with string Nobody knows what joy will bring Just like you walk through every door And leave us wanting so much more

Another year, another turn We watch that little candle burn Wherever this year takes your grace We're glad we get to share the space

Let the glass stop spinning round Chase, we're happy that you're found

Verse 1

Wind kicks up along the dunes Paper plates go tumbling past Grey grass bends but never breaks Kind of like you, built to last

Something in you lights the room Everybody feels it near Turn it up, the night is here

Chorus

Chase, you own the whole damn place Nobody moves without your grace Chase, we're clapping for your face Born to shine, born to embrace

Verse 2

Sand gets in your shoes and hair Doesn't slow your stride one bit You just laugh and kick it back Make the mess look like it fits

Bridge

Another year, another chance To watch you move, to watch you dance We're not here for cake alone We're here because you're one of one

Chorus

Chase, you own the whole damn place Nobody moves without your grace Chase, we're clapping for your face Born to shine, born to embrace

Outro

Let the plates blow where they may You're the reason we stayed to play

Verse 1

Bottle sweating on the board Nothing on this counter's stored You just hum and chop the lime Steady hands and taking time

Water beads and starts to fall I forget the world at all Something's building, low and slow

Knife against the wooden board Simple things we can't afford Yet you make them feel like more This is what I'm living for

No need to rush this, no need to prove Just you beside me, easy move Glass sweats slower than my heart

Chase, you steady every room Chase, you clear away the gloom Water dripping, cool and true Nothing I would rather do

Outro

Bottle empty, board wiped clean Best thing I have ever seen

Verse 1

The logs fall soft into the ash Your sleeve just brushes against mine Nobody's rushing, nothing's rash We let the low light do its shine

Pre-chorus

I don't need the fire to speak I've got you sitting here instead Something in me starts to lean

Chorus

Chase, you're the warmth I keep coming back to No hurry here, no need to race Been cold before, but not since I met you There's room right here, there's always space

Verse 2

You don't say much when you're content That's how I know it's really true Every quiet is well spent When it's just me here next to you

Chase, you're the warmth I keep coming back to No hurry here, no need to race Been cold before, but not since I met you There's room right here, there's always space

Bridge

Let the whole world turn to embers Let the night go on and on I'll remember how you held me Long after the fire's gone

Chorus

Chase, you're the warmth I keep coming back to No hurry here, no need to race Been cold before, but not since I met you There's room right here, there's always space

The logs have burned down soft and low Still your sleeve is touching mine

Verse 1

Books stacked high across the desk Hiding a mug I forgot again You brought it in without a word Let it sit and didn't complain

Pre-chorus

You notice things I never say Small things I try to hide away And still you stay, you lean in closer

Chorus

Chase, you love me in the quiet way Never needing much of a case No grand gesture, no big display Just steady hands and steady grace

Verse 2

I move the books, find the mug Water gone flat, gone cold But you were here an hour ago That means more than gold

Bridge

I don't need the fanfare or the chase Just you, showing up in this small space Some kind of love that doesn't shout

Chorus

Chase, you love me in the quiet way Never needing much of a case No grand gesture, no big display Just steady hands and steady grace

Outro

I'll leave the books stacked where they lie With you here, I don't ask why

Verse 1

The old brass pendulum swings slow across the hallway floor Through dust that drifts like tiny stars that never make a sound Every quiet tick is calling you toward the softest shore Sleep is coming gently now to lay you safe and sound

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the whole house is breathing slower with you The dark is not empty, it is holding you with care Close your eyes and let it carry you through

Chorus

Chase, the night has room enough for all your dreaming You are held so close within this warm embrace Nothing here will ever leave you lost or screaming Rest your head, Chase, this is your safest place

Verse 2

The moonlight finds its way in soft along the wall Painting gold across the floor where shadows barely reach Nothing in this house can hurt you, nothing here will fall You are wrapped in something steady, something you can't breach

Bridge

Every tick that swings you nearer to the morning light Says you are so loved, so kept, so wanted through the night

Chorus

Chase, the night has room enough for all your dreaming You are held so close within this warm embrace Nothing here will ever leave you lost or screaming Rest your head, Chase, this is your safest place

Outro

The pendulum still swings its slow and steady pace Sleep now, you are held, and you are safe in this warm place

Verse 1

Tiny droplets slide so slowly down the windowpane tonight Yellow light lies warm and gentle stretching soft across the floor You are curled up safe and drowsy in the quiet fading light There is nothing you should worry over, nothing to wait for

Close your eyes and let the hush come drifting overhead Every worry of the daylight now can loosen and unwind Sleep is only steps away and waiting just ahead

Chorus

Chase, the night is holding you so gently in its embrace Nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to chase Rest inside the quiet of this warm and shadowed space You are so loved, Chase, in this softly settled place

Verse 2

The glass is cool and misted while the room stays warm and low Shadows move so gently, never hurried, never fast You don't have to watch them, you can let the evening go Sleep will hold you steady till the quiet night has passed

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the hush come drifting overhead Every worry of the daylight now can loosen and unwind Sleep is only steps away and waiting just ahead

Chorus

Chase, the night is holding you so gently in its embrace Nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to chase Rest inside the quiet of this warm and shadowed space You are so loved, Chase, in this softly settled place

Bridge

However far the darkness stretches, you are not alone in it Somebody is watching over every breath you softly take

Chorus

Chase, the night is holding you so gently in its embrace Nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to chase Rest inside the quiet of this warm and shadowed space You are so loved, Chase, in this softly settled place

The light still glows so softly gold across the sleepy floor Sleep now, you are held, you are wanted, always, ever more

Verse 1

The garden goes quiet when the moon takes its place Silver runs soft over gravel and space You breathe like the hush that comes after the rain Safe in the dark with no worry, no pain

Pre-chorus

Leaves fold themselves down for the night, one by one Nothing is chasing and nothing need be done So let your small hands finally soften and rest

Chorus

Chase, you are held here, no need for a race Sleep finds you gentle, wrapped up in your place Nothing will hurry you, nothing will chase Chase, you are safe in the night's quiet embrace

Verse 2

Somewhere a path holds the shine of the moon Waiting for morning, for daylight, for June You are the warmth that no darkness can hide Curled up and certain with sleep by your side

Every small sound settles down into grace Hush finds a home in this warm little place

Chase, you are held here, no need for a race Sleep finds you gentle, wrapped up in your place Nothing will hurry you, nothing will chase Chase, you are safe in the night's quiet embrace

Outro

The gravel still gleams though your eyes have gone still Sleep on, little one, the night holds you until
