  Verse 1

  The concrete bites but we stay put Your foot beside mine, cold to hot We don't say much, we never do Something in that I trust like proof

  Pre-chorus

  I could go inside where it's warm But I'd rather freeze here with you So I'm staying right where I am

  Chorus

  Phyllis, you make the quiet kind No need for chalice, crown or shrine Just this stoop and just this hour Phyllis, you're the steady find

  Verse 2

  You laugh low when my toes go numb Lean your shoulder into mine We watch the street do nothing much I wouldn't trade this for a palace

  Chorus

  Phyllis, you make the quiet kind No need for chalice, crown or shrine Just this stoop and just this hour Phyllis, you're the steady find

  Bridge

  No malice in you, only room Room enough for me to land I didn't know I needed this Until you took my hand

  Chorus

  Phyllis, you make the quiet kind No need for chalice, crown or shrine Just this stoop and just this hour Phyllis, you're the steady find

  Outro

  Cold stoop, warm hand, steady heart This is enough, this is the start

• Sweating Cups

  Motown ballad · Motown · Strings · Classic

  A quiet Motown-style love song built from a small shared moment, two coffee cups cooling against a railing, that says everything about steady, ordinary devotion.

  Verse 1

  Two cups on a green railing Both of us too warm to speak You told me some story trailing And I forgot the coffee week

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about that day was grand But you were easy in my hand And something in me had to say

  Chorus

  Phyllis, you're the calm I chose No malice ever in your eyes Steady as a garden rose You're the reason mornings rise

  Verse 2

  The ice was melting down the cup We watched it slide and pool and stall You didn't rush to pick it up You let the quiet hold it all

  Pre-chorus

  I've known noise that never spoke I've known love that felt like smoke But you just sat there, plain and true

  Chorus

  Phyllis, you're the calm I chose No malice ever in your eyes Steady as a garden rose You're the reason mornings rise

  Bridge

  Years might come and change the weather Cups grow cold, we sit here still No palace built could hold us better Than this railing, come what will

  Chorus

  Phyllis, you're the calm I chose No malice ever in your eyes Steady as a garden rose You're the reason mornings rise

  Outro

  The railing's cold, the cups long gone Your hand's still warm, and I hold on

  Verse 1

  Two red baskets stacked too high Balanced on tins, about to fly You caught them both without a word Steadiest hands I've ever seen or heard

  Pre-chorus

  You make the hard things simple somehow No fuss, no fear, no furrowed brow That's the kind of love I'm leaning into now

  Chorus

  Phyllis, you hold the weight so well No palace could ring louder than this bell Phyllis, there's no malice in your name Just steady love that stays right where it came

  Verse 2

  I've dropped my share of things before You never once walked out the door You just reached out and took the fall Made the heaviest days feel small

  Bridge

  I don't need palaces or gold Just your hands on what I hold Every ordinary thing feels less alone With you it finally feels like home

  Chorus

  Phyllis, you hold the weight so well No palace could ring louder than this bell Phyllis, there's no malice in your name Just steady love that stays right where it came

  Outro

  The tins still wobble, the baskets sway You're still the reason nothing falls away
