Songs for Judy

Verse 1

Boxes stacked by the sliding doors Waiting there like they know the score Something good is coming through And it's got your name on it, cutie

Pre-chorus

Feel that shuffle in your feet Hear the bassline hit the street Get ready now, don't you hesitate

Chorus

Judy, we been saving this for you Cake and candles, nothing but the truth One more year and you're still the best crew Judy, we been saving this for you

Verse 2

Every box has got a bow Piled up high where the sunlight goes Somebody wrapped it just for you Because a day like this don't come slow

Chorus

Judy, we been saving this for you Cake and candles, nothing but the truth One more year and you're still the best crew Judy, we been saving this for you

Bridge

Doors slide open, let the noise in Everybody here to make you grin Nothing in this world quite like you

Chorus

Judy, we been saving this for you Cake and candles, nothing but the truth One more year and you're still the best crew Judy, we been saving this for you

Outro

Boxes empty now by the door We got everything we came here for

Verse 1

Cups are rattling in the holder engine humming, we're getting bolder music loud and the windows down you turn every road into a crown

Pre-chorus

Every mile feels like a reason every stop is out of season so lean back, here comes the part

Chorus

Judy, Judy, light of my drive you make it good to be alive nobody's sweeter, nobody's cutie happy birthday to you, Judy

Verse 2

Slip road humming, sun is rising you've got a way that's so surprising laughing loud with your hand out the window you turn the ordinary into a rainbow

Chorus

Judy, Judy, light of my drive you make it good to be alive nobody's sweeter, nobody's cutie happy birthday to you, Judy

Bridge

Here's to the years that brought you here here's to the cups, here's to the cheer you are the reason we hit the road

Chorus

Judy, Judy, light of my drive you make it good to be alive nobody's sweeter, nobody's cutie happy birthday to you, Judy

Outro

Cups still rattle where we drove you're the warmth that we all know

Verse 1

Litter tumbles by the bridge Caught up in the wind and gone But you're the one thing round here That always sticks around till dawn

Pre-chorus

Some things blow away too fast Some things never learn to stay But you're steady as the stone

Chorus

Judy, Judy, light the candles Judy, here's to one more year Nobody's quite as lovely as you Nobody makes us feel less fear

Verse 2

Old wrappers drift against the wall Nobody wants them, nobody's proud But you get held by everyone You get sung to loud

Bridge

We'd choose you every single time Out of anyone in the crowd Happy birthday, hold your head up Say it clear and say it proud

Chorus

Judy, Judy, light the candles Judy, here's to one more year Nobody's quite as lovely as you Nobody makes us feel less fear

Outro

Let the wrappers blow on past us We're still here, and so are you

Verse 1

The hallway glows a soft and yellow shade tonight It slips beneath the door to find you where you lie Nothing in this house will ever give you a fright Sleep now, little one, while the light stays nearby

Pre-chorus

The house breathes slow around this room where you are curled Every sound outside has softened to a hush So let the quiet carry you from the whole wide world

Chorus

Judy, the night is gentle, and it holds you like a beauty Nothing out there in the dark can ever touch you There's no need to be broody, no need to feel unruly Sleep, Judy, sleep, the whole wide world adores you

Verse 2

Someone is close beside this door until the morning comes The carpet holds a little light so you won't be alone You never have to wonder where the warmth is coming from It's here to keep you safe until the darkness has flown

Bridge

Rest your head, there's nothing you should carry Every breath you take is watched with care Let the hush of evening make you sleepy

Chorus

Judy, the night is gentle, and it holds you like a beauty Nothing out there in the dark can ever touch you There's no need to be broody, no need to feel unruly Sleep, Judy, sleep, the whole wide world adores you

Outro

The light beneath the door will stay however long you sleep So rest now, little one, there's nothing here to keep

Verse 1

The small green numbers hum so quiet on the wooden stand They count the minutes gently, holding time in one soft hand No need to watch them closely, no need to keep the score You're already halfway dreaming, safe behind the quiet door

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the ticking fade into the dark Every worry of the daylight has gone and left no mark I am here to hold the stillness while you drift so far

Chorus

Judy, Judy, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing here can touch you, nowhere else to go You're the calm the whole night gathers round to keep Judy, Judy, let the green light watch you sleep

Verse 2

The shadows on the ceiling move so slowly they seem still They mean you nothing but a gentle, cool and quiet chill Your breathing finds the rhythm that the whole dark room can feel Underneath the blanket, everything is safe and real

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the ticking fade into the dark Every worry of the daylight has gone and left no mark I am here to hold the stillness while you drift so far

Chorus

Judy, Judy, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing here can touch you, nowhere else to go You're the calm the whole night gathers round to keep Judy, Judy, let the green light watch you sleep

Bridge

However far the night stretches out beyond that door You are held here gently, you are wanted, nothing more

Chorus

Judy, Judy, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing here can touch you, nowhere else to go You're the calm the whole night gathers round to keep Judy, Judy, let the green light watch you sleep

Outro

The small green numbers glow on, watching over you till dawn Sleep now, little Judy, you are loved and you are home

Verse 1

Wool fringes brush against your knees so soft and slow Rain taps a rhythm on the glass to hum you low Everything outside can wait until the light Close your eyes now, let the quiet grow

Chorus

Judy, Judy, rest your head down here There is nothing in this dark for you to fear Judy, hush now, let the night be kind You are the sweetest thing that I hold near

Verse 2

Denim knees still warm from all our sitting still Fingers curled in wool while the house grows chill Nothing needs to move now, nothing needs to speak Sleep will come and carry you until

Pre-chorus

Feel how slow the rain falls, feel how soft the dark Let your breathing settle like a fading spark You are safe here, closer than the night can reach

Chorus

Judy, Judy, rest your head down here There is nothing in this dark for you to fear Judy, hush now, let the night be kind You are the sweetest thing that I hold near

Bridge

Every thread of wool was made to keep you warm Piano notes are falling soft to still the storm

Chorus

Judy, Judy, rest your head down here There is nothing in this dark for you to fear Judy, hush now, let the night be kind You are the sweetest thing that I hold near

Outro

Sleep now with the wool fringe soft against your skin Morning finds you held, the way you always have been
