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.

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

• 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.
