Songs for Kylie

Verse 1

Boxes slide across the seat Brakes go soft, the street unwinds Every corner brings us closer You're the best thing that I find

Pre-chorus

Something's building in my chest Lights are turning gold and slow We keep driving towards this moment

Chorus

Kylie, the whole room lifts for you Candles catch and hold the light We came so far to find you Kylie, you make this feel right

Verse 2

Engine hums a steady beat Streetlights blink us safely home You're the reason we kept moving Never once did we feel alone

Bridge

Every box unpacked tonight Holds a year that led to this Nothing here was ever ordinary Nothing here was ever missed

Chorus

Kylie, the whole room lifts for you Candles catch and hold the light We came so far to find you Kylie, you make this feel right

Outro

Car has stopped, the boxes still You're finally, fully home

Verse 1

Fog was thick upon the window Nobody could see the street I dragged my sleeve across the glass Just to find you looking sweet

Pre-chorus

Now the whole cafe is grinning Someone's shouting bring the cake Here's the minute we've been spinning

Chorus

Kylie, look what we made you Every candle burning bright We have loved you loudly, truly Kylie, you're our kind of light

Verse 2

Steam was rising off the coffee Voices climbing off the floor Somebody started up the singing The second that you walked through the door

Chorus

Kylie, look what we made you Every candle burning bright We have loved you loudly, truly Kylie, you're our kind of light

Bridge

Another year has come round quickly Still you shine and never dim Raise a glass and say it plainly Nobody could fill your skin

Chorus

Kylie, look what we made you Every candle burning bright We have loved you loudly, truly Kylie, you're our kind of light

Outro

The window's clear now, we can see you Happy birthday, shining through

Verse 1

The scale tips over, apples spill Nobody counted, but they will We piled them high for one good reason You make a heap feel like a thrill

Pre-chorus

So we're stacking up the reasons why One more candle, one more try Get ready, here's the tipping point

Chorus

Kylie, the whole scale's tipping over Green apples spilling, we're in clover Nobody weighs the love we're giving Kylie, you tip it every time

Verse 2

Some folks measure out their kindness thin You just pile it, let it win Never mind the brass arm creaking We knew this day would do you in

Pre-chorus

So we're stacking up the reasons why One more candle, one more try Get ready, here's the tipping point

Chorus

Kylie, the whole scale's tipping over Green apples spilling, we're in clover Nobody weighs the love we're giving Kylie, you tip it every time

Bridge

Heap it higher, let it fall We never wanted balanced at all One more year of tipping over Loud and lopsided, that's you, that's all

Chorus

Kylie, the whole scale's tipping over Green apples spilling, we're in clover Nobody weighs the love we're giving Kylie, you tip it every time

Outro

The apples roll off, we're laughing still Kylie, you were built to spill

Verse 1

Far off metal hums a tune too soft to keep you waking Red lights on the tracks are drifting slowly out of sight Every sound out there is turning gentle, sweet and breaking Into hush that wraps around you like the warmest night

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the distant humming carry you Nothing out beyond this room was ever built to stay Rest is coming closer now, so soft and warm and true

Chorus

Kylie, the whole wide night is holding you so highly Nothing far or fading ever needs to make you cry Sleep is close and safe and warm, my darling Kylie Every light that fades away just says a soft goodbye

Verse 2

Somewhere trains are singing low along their quiet miles Carrying their little lights to somewhere far from here You are held so close and warm beneath the sleepy piles Nothing in the fading dark has any need to fear

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the distant humming carry you Nothing out beyond this room was ever built to stay Rest is coming closer now, so soft and warm and true

Chorus

Kylie, the whole wide night is holding you so highly Nothing far or fading ever needs to make you cry Sleep is close and safe and warm, my darling Kylie Every light that fades away just says a soft goodbye

Bridge

Rain is falling soft as breathing on the window glass Piano notes are settling low to let the night pass

Chorus

Kylie, the whole wide night is holding you so highly Nothing far or fading ever needs to make you cry Sleep is close and safe and warm, my darling Kylie Every light that fades away just says a soft goodbye

Outro

The tracks have gone to quiet and the lights have drifted far Sleep now, little Kylie, safe beneath your fading star

Verse 1

The lake has gone quiet and the oar has stopped moving now Nothing needs rowing when the whole night is on your side Every ripple has settled and folded itself away slowly You can rest here so easy with the water and the tide

Pre-chorus

No further to travel, no further to drift tonight The dark is holding steady the way still water can So close your eyes gently and let go of the light

Chorus

Kylie, the lake has carried you safely home again Sleep is the harbour and you are welcome in Nothing will wake you, not thunder and not rain Kylie, you are held here, you are always kept within

Verse 2

Somewhere a small boat is tied and it will not stray far The rope is soft but it holds you the way that quiet can Nothing is asking you to open your eyes or wonder where you are Only the hush of water against the side of your hand

Bridge

Rest your small weight the way the oar rests on the lake Not sinking, not striving, just held and still and slow

Chorus

Kylie, the lake has carried you safely home again Sleep is the harbour and you are welcome in Nothing will wake you, not thunder and not rain Kylie, you are held here, you are always kept within

Outro

The oar lies quiet now where the dark water is deep Rest now the same way, easy and safe in your sleep

Verse 1

A yellow glow is warming through the heavy blanket now It settles soft and slow across your little sleeping brow The whole wide world can wait outside this quiet, gentle room Nothing here can touch you, only calm and soft, warm bloom

Pre-chorus

The light is low and easy, and the night is turning kind Your breathing finds its rhythm and it eases through your mind Hold on to nothing, let it go, and drift where dreams unwind

Chorus

Kylie, the glow is holding you so gently through the dark Nothing in this quiet night could ever leave a mark You are so loved, so safe, so warmly wrapped and held tonight Sleep now, Kylie, sinking soft beneath the fading light

Verse 2

The fabric glows a golden hue around your drowsy head It hums a quiet colour just above your little bed Every worry folds away and melts into the gentle gloom And you are held so closely in this warm and steady room

Chorus

Kylie, the glow is holding you so gently through the dark Nothing in this quiet night could ever leave a mark You are so loved, so safe, so warmly wrapped and held tonight Sleep now, Kylie, sinking soft beneath the fading light

Bridge

Rest now, let the whole wide world grow distant, soft and small You are the warmest thing of all inside this gentle wall Nothing needs to happen, nothing needs to start or end

Chorus

Kylie, the glow is holding you so gently through the dark Nothing in this quiet night could ever leave a mark You are so loved, so safe, so warmly wrapped and held tonight Sleep now, Kylie, sinking soft beneath the fading light

Outro

The yellow glow will keep on shining soft till morning comes And you'll wake up so loved, so safe, beneath that gentle sun
