Verse 1

C

The house is finally quiet now

G

Moonlight on the floor

Am

Two little breaths in rhythm

F

I couldn’t ask for more

C

Your lashes rest on rosy cheeks

G

Milk dreams drifting by

Am

I watch your chests rise gently

F

And thank the stars tonight

⸻

Chorus

C

Oh I didn’t know love like this

G

Before you called me Mum

Am

Two little hearts rewrote my own

F

I’ve come undone

C

You changed me slow and quietly

G

Like morning light at dawn

Am

I’m softer now, I’m braver too

F

Since you came along

⸻

Verse 2

C

There are days my body’s tired

G

Hands full, heart stretched wide

Am

Sticky fingers, endless laundry

F

Tears I try to hide

C

But in the mess there’s magic

G

In the chaos there’s truth

Am

I’m learning how to love myself

F

By loving you

⸻

Chorus

C

Oh I didn’t know love like this

G

The way it breaks you open

Am

Every fear I carried once

F

Now feels unspoken

C

You changed me slow and quietly

G

Like the tide at shore

Am

I’m more than I was yesterday

F

And somehow less afraid than before

⸻

Bridge (softer, almost whispered)

Am

If the world feels heavy someday

Em

And you don’t know where you belong

F

You’ll always have my heartbeat

C

You’ll always have this song

Am

I’ll be here in the dark hours

Em

When growing feels too hard

F

I’ll love you through every version

G

Of who you are

⸻

Final Chorus

C

Oh I didn’t know love like this

G

Until I watched you sleep

Am

Two little boys, my whole wide world

F

Safe here with me

C

Motherhood rewrote my soul

G

In ways I never knew

Am

I’m better than I was before

F

Because of you

⸻

Outro (slow, repeat softly)

C

So close your eyes, my beautiful boys

G

Let tomorrow wait

Am

I’m right here, and I always will be

F

Love never fades

C

Mm-mm…

F

Mm-mm…
