Songs for Sharon

Verse 1

Boxes sliding down the seats Headlights sweeping through the rain You kept laughing through the storm Made the whole night feel like gain

Pre-chorus

Nobody else could hold it steady Nobody else would drive so far We're pulling up now, all of us ready To toast the one who got us here

Chorus

Sharon, Sharon, raise your glass Nobody's daring quite like you We're glad you're in our lives at last Sharon, here's to all you do

Verse 2

You turn a mess into a home Even boxes feel like cheer Wherever you go, we're not alone That's the gift you bring each year

Chorus

Sharon, Sharon, raise your glass Nobody's daring quite like you We're glad you're in our lives at last Sharon, here's to all you do

Bridge

Every mile you've driven for us Every load you've carried through Tonight the room stands up for you

Chorus

Sharon, Sharon, raise your glass Nobody's daring quite like you We're glad you're in our lives at last Sharon, here's to all you do

Outro

Rain still falls, the lights still gleam You're the warmth behind the beam

Verse 1

Torn from the roll, still warm Metal levers, greasy in the storm You laugh and the whole line moves That's the kind of spark you use

Pre-chorus

Music's climbing, hands go high Something's coming, don't ask why Feel it building, here we go

Chorus

Sharon, light the whole place up Pour the sweetness in the cup Nobody's dancing quite like you Sharon, tell us what we're bearin' through

Verse 2

Lever pulled and the wheel spins round You're the reason we stay in town Every ticket's got your name Every ride feels like a game

Chorus

Sharon, light the whole place up Pour the sweetness in the cup Nobody's dancing quite like you Sharon, tell us what we're bearin' through

Bridge

Hold the ticket, don't let go You're the best thing on this show We keep clapping, row by row

Chorus

Sharon, light the whole place up Pour the sweetness in the cup Nobody's dancing quite like you Sharon, tell us what we're bearin' through

Outro

Keep that ticket, keep it near You're the brightest thing all year

Verse 1

Blue lines floating under lights Nobody rushing, nobody fighting Something about you keeps it calm You've always been the steady kind

Chorus

Sharon, blow the candles out Happy birthday, no one's daring Say a word against this crowd Sharon, this whole room's here for you

Verse 2

You hold a room without a sound Never showing off or wearing crowns Just a calm that spreads out slow Like water settling all around

Pre-chorus

So let the cake come, let it glow Let every voice here start to rise We've waited all year for this

Chorus

Sharon, blow the candles out Happy birthday, no one's daring Say a word against this crowd Sharon, this whole room's here for you

Bridge

Whatever noise the year has brought You kept us floating, calm and sure Another lap around the sun And still the steadiest one here

Chorus

Sharon, blow the candles out Happy birthday, no one's daring Say a word against this crowd Sharon, this whole room's here for you

Outro

Let the lights hum soft above Sharon, float on, we've got you

Verse 1

The old chair rocks in a slow and steady turn Wood against wool, a whisper we don't need to learn Every creak is a promise that you are held tight You are the reason we're rocking so soft through the night

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the shadows are only just resting Nothing can reach you while we're here protecting Close your eyes, let the rocking keep going

Chorus

Sharon, the night is a blanket we're sharing Nothing out there in the dark should be scaring You are the warmth that this house is wearing Sleep now, my Sharon, we're gentle and caring

Verse 2

The carpet keeps time with the wood's easy sigh Slow as your breathing, as soft as a lullaby You curl in so small but you carry so much light We'll rock you through shadows until they turn bright

Bridge

No storm ever finds you while this chair keeps turning No cold ever touches the warmth that you're earning Rest here where nothing but kindness is near you

Chorus

Sharon, the night is a blanket we're sharing Nothing out there in the dark should be scaring You are the warmth that this house is wearing Sleep now, my Sharon, we're gentle and caring

Outro

The chair slows to still on the old woollen floor You are loved just the same as you were the night before

Verse 1

Heavy purple wool is resting soft across my knees tonight Warmth is climbing slow and quiet up around your little bed Nothing in this room is asking you to open up your eyes Only gentle breathing sounds are moving through your sleepy head

Pre-chorus

Something in the radiator clicks so softly, keeping time Nothing in this house is louder than that steady, sleepy rhyme And every click is saying hush now, drifting closer, closer to

Chorus

Sharon, close your eyes and let the wool keep you from harm You are wrapped in something older than the words that I could find Sleep is coming gentle, Sharon, nothing here will do you harm Rest here in the warmth that's wrapping soft around you, safe and kind

Verse 2

Shadows on the wall are only shapes that mean you no unrest Every little sound tonight is just the house here settling too Curl a little deeper into all this warmth against your chest Nothing in the dark tonight has anywhere to come for you

Chorus

Sharon, close your eyes and let the wool keep you from harm You are wrapped in something older than the words that I could find Sleep is coming gentle, Sharon, nothing here will do you harm Rest here in the warmth that's wrapping soft around you, safe and kind

Bridge

Hold this quiet, let it carry you where dreaming waits so still Nothing needs an answer now, no reaching and no climbing any hill

Chorus

Sharon, close your eyes and let the wool keep you from harm You are wrapped in something older than the words that I could find Sleep is coming gentle, Sharon, nothing here will do you harm Rest here in the warmth that's wrapping soft around you, safe and kind

Outro

Purple wool is settling heavy, warm across these knees once more Sleep now, little Sharon, you are held here, safe upon this shore

Verse 1

A small light hides behind the curtain, soft and low tonight Turning all the room to amber, gentle on your eyes Nothing here can touch you now, you're wrapped up warm and tight Rest inside this quiet glow until the morning rise

Chorus

Sharon, close your eyes, the dark is only bearin' Soft light through the fabric, nothing sharp or scaring Sleep will find you gently, like it found sweet Karen Sharon, you are held here, loved beyond comparing

Verse 2

The fabric glows a little redder when the wind is still Shadows learn to soften once you let your shoulders fall Nobody needs to hurry, no one's climbing any hill Just the hush of evening settling over all

Pre-chorus

Feel how slow the whole world's turning, feel the weight begin to lift Every worry from the daytime folding soft into the dusk Sleep is only waiting for you, closer with each drift

Chorus

Sharon, close your eyes, the dark is only bearin' Soft light through the fabric, nothing sharp or scaring Sleep will find you gently, like it found sweet Karen Sharon, you are held here, loved beyond comparing

Bridge

Nothing in this room will ever wish you harm Rest inside the colour, rest inside the calm

Chorus

Sharon, close your eyes, the dark is only bearin' Soft light through the fabric, nothing sharp or scaring Sleep will find you gently, like it found sweet Karen Sharon, you are held here, loved beyond comparing

Outro

The light behind the curtain will be burning long past dark Watching over you till morning finds its spark
