Songs for Tammy

Verse 1

The taps are dripping down the glass Cardboard plates and one big laugh Somebody spilled their drink again We're all still here, we're your best friends

Pre-chorus

We came for you, we stayed for fun Every story, every round we've won Get the glasses up, here it comes

Chorus

Tammy, Tammy, lift your glass up high You're the reason nobody wants to say goodbye So jammy that you're loved this much Tammy, Tammy, you're a lucky touch

Verse 2

You laugh so loud the whole pub turns Every candle on that cake still burns You always know just what to say You make an ordinary night a day

Chorus

Tammy, Tammy, lift your glass up high You're the reason nobody wants to say goodbye So jammy that you're loved this much Tammy, Tammy, you're a lucky touch

Bridge

Here's to every year that's brought you here Here's to you and every face so dear We'll toast you till the glasses run dry One more year, and one more try

Chorus

Tammy, Tammy, lift your glass up high You're the reason nobody wants to say goodbye So jammy that you're loved this much Tammy, Tammy, you're a lucky touch

Outro

The glasses clink, the table's still a mess We wouldn't have it any other way, we guess

Verse 1

Gravel crunching under boots tonight Somebody's climbing up to find you Cold metal stack against grey light We came up here to remind you

Pre-chorus

Hear the band strike up below Feel the whole room start to swell Get ready, here's the part we know

Chorus

Tammy, you're the reason we came Nobody else could light this place Lucky just to say your name Happy birthday, jammy, dancing face

Verse 2

Tar paper cold beneath our feet We stood up here to catch our breath You make the whole night feel complete Warmer than the winter's depth

Bridge

However far the year has spun You're still the brightest thing we've got Blow the candles, everyone Toast the one who ties the knot

Chorus

Tammy, you're the reason we came Nobody else could light this place Lucky just to say your name Happy birthday, jammy, dancing face

Outro

Boots still crunching on our way back down This is your night, wear the crown

Verse 1

Clock on the dash glows green Sweetest ride that I've ever seen Donuts riding shotgun beside me Nobody shines like you, Tammy

Chorus

Tammy, Tammy, light up this night Nobody else feels so right You make the whole car sing Happy birthday, Tammy

Verse 2

Sugar on your fingers, laughing loud Joy you carry like a crown Miles could never dim you Something in you keeps us glowing

Pre-chorus

Every mile we're rolling closer Candles waiting, engine humming Feels like the whole world's turning

Chorus

Tammy, Tammy, light up this night Nobody else feels so right You make the whole car sing Happy birthday, Tammy

Bridge

However far the road runs on You're the reason we're not gone One more year and still so jammy Lucky just to know you, Tammy

Chorus

Tammy, Tammy, light up this night Nobody else feels so right You make the whole car sing Happy birthday, Tammy

Outro

Green light glowing, sweet and slow We'll keep driving where you go

Verse 1

Amber light is spilling soft along the worn grey stair Every step you climbed today is folded now and still Close your eyes and let the hush come settle in your hair There is nothing you must carry, nothing left to fill

Chorus

Tammy, the light is low and the house has gone to rest Nobody in the whole wide world is held the way you're held Rest your small and tired head against the ones who love you best Tammy, sleep is calling soft, and all the day has spelled

Verse 2

Somewhere behind that painted door a warmth is standing guard Nothing can slip inside tonight to trouble where you lie You are the softest thing this house has ever had to guard So let the quiet gather round you like a lullaby

Pre-chorus

Listen how slow the whole house breathes around you now Every worry of the day has finally let you go Feel how the dark turns gentle when it learns your name somehow

Chorus

Tammy, the light is low and the house has gone to rest Nobody in the whole wide world is held the way you're held Rest your small and tired head against the ones who love you best Tammy, sleep is calling soft, and all the day has spelled

Bridge

Sleep now, you are wanted here, you always will be wanted Morning waits behind the dark to find you safe and warm

Chorus

Tammy, the light is low and the house has gone to rest Nobody in the whole wide world is held the way you're held Rest your small and tired head against the ones who love you best Tammy, sleep is calling soft, and all the day has spelled

Outro

The amber light still glows along the carpet worn and grey Sleep, little Tammy, love is watching till the light of day

Verse 1

The window wears a soft grey mist that blurs the light outside Orange lamps go drifting past like lanterns set to glide You watch them melt to gentle gold, then close your heavy eyes And I will stay right here with you until the morning sky

Pre-chorus

The glass is cool but you are warm beneath the blanket's fold Every breath you take tonight is safe and slow and slowed So let the little lights outside just rock you soft to

Chorus

Tammy, Tammy, close your eyes and drift away with me Nothing in this whole wide world could ever love you more, you'll see The night is only velvet dark, no reason to be clammy Rest your head and let it go, my darling little Tammy

Verse 2

A trail runs down the window pane, so slow it barely moves Like time itself has slowed right down to match the way you snooze Streetlights blink their steady glow, a rhythm soft and true And every single beat of it is only meant for you

Bridge

Somewhere past the misted glass the whole wide world sleeps too Every quiet corner of the dark belongs to you

Chorus

Tammy, Tammy, close your eyes and drift away with me Nothing in this whole wide world could ever love you more, you'll see The night is only velvet dark, no reason to be clammy Rest your head and let it go, my darling little Tammy

Outro

The window fogs, the lamps burn low, the whole street settles down And you are held here safe with me, the softest place around

Verse 1

A small flame settles low inside its little tin of gold Soft light is pooling warm the way that quiet stories are told You breathe beside me slower now than any breath before Sleep is coming gentle, easy, safe for you to hold

Chorus

Tammy, close your eyes now, let the evening in Nothing here can touch you, nothing can begin You are held so closely, closer than you know Tammy, drift on softly, let the whole night settle slow

Verse 2

Wax runs down so slowly, patient as a sleepy tide Every little worry has already gone outside You are wrapped in stillness, warmer than a summer noon Nothing in this room tonight has any need to hide

Pre-chorus

Watch the small light bending, easy, golden, low Feel your shoulders loosen, feel the day let go Something soft is calling, gentle, warm and slow

Chorus

Tammy, close your eyes now, let the evening in Nothing here can touch you, nothing can begin You are held so closely, closer than you know Tammy, drift on softly, let the whole night settle slow

Bridge

Whatever came before you, whatever waits ahead This moment holds you only, this quiet, this small bed You are loved beyond the counting, past what any words can show

Chorus

Tammy, close your eyes now, let the evening in Nothing here can touch you, nothing can begin You are held so closely, closer than you know Tammy, drift on softly, let the whole night settle slow

Outro

Down to almost nothing, the little flame burns true Sleep now, small and steady, the whole night keeps for you
