VERSE 1

Lyrics:

The lights are fading, soft and slow,

The stars are whispering, time to go.

The moon is waiting, calm and bright,

To lead me home through gentle night.

• No percussion

• Sing slightly behind the beat

⸻

VERSE 2

Lyrics:

A field of red roses will do,

Their scent will carry what I knew.

No tears, my love, just let it be —

I’m only going where I’m meant to be.

Production notes:

• Cello enters underneath (warm, grounding)

• Piano opens to full chords

• Very soft brush pulse (heartbeat-level)

⸻

CHORUS

Lyrics:

I will be where time is right,

Where the sky turns gold, beyond the light.

Don’t cry for me, I’m still in sight —

I will be where time is right.

Production notes:

• Violin moves to sustained harmony

• Cello swells gently

• No drums yet

• Hold the phrase “where time is right” longer each time

⸻

POST-CHORUS (2 bars – instrumental breath)

Instruments:

• Piano + violin only

• Let the space speak

⸻

BRIDGE

Lyrics:

If you listen when the wind sighs,

You’ll hear my name between the lines.

No pain, no weight, just endless skies,

A love that never dies.

Production notes:

• Percussion drops out

• Add soft horn or warm synth pad (barely there)

• Violin plays a rising motif (hope, not sorrow)

⸻

FINAL CHORUS

Lyrics:

I will be where time is right,

Where the sky turns gold, beyond the light.

Don’t cry for me, I’m still in sight —

I will be where time is right.

Production notes:

• Add a low kick pulse (felt, not heard)

• Sub bass follows piano root gently

• Whispered harmony doubles (very subtle)

⸻

OUTRO

Lyrics (soft repeat):

I will be where time is right…

Production notes:

• Strip back to piano + one sustained violin note

• Let the final word fade, not resolve

• Breath audible at the end

⸻

ONE-LINE PRODUCER NOTE (optional):

A cinematic, breath-led ballad built on piano and strings—timeless, restrained, and quietly eternal.
