The Second Heartbeat Under Mine

Verse 1

In the quiet of the night, I dream of you, my light,

A whisper in the dark, a wish not yet defined.

A cradle in my soul, a warmth I’ve never known,

I feel you in the echoes of a life still yet to grow.

Pre-Chorus

Every star I see, I name it after you,

A promise in the heavens, waiting to come true.

Chorus

The second heartbeat under mine,

A rhythm born of love divine.

I’d hold you safe through storm and flame,

Protect you from all hurt and pain.

I long to feel your tiny hands entwined,

The second heartbeat under mine.

Verse 2

I’d paint your world in gold and blue,

Every sunrise just for you.

I’d teach you how to chase the wind,

And where the rainbows truly begin.

Pre-Chorus

And when the night would whisper fears,

I’d be your voice, your calm, your tears.

Chorus

The second heartbeat under mine,

A lullaby through space and time.

I’d give my soul, my breath, my name,

To see your eyes ignite the flame.

You are my dream, my sacred sign,

The second heartbeat under mine.

Bridge

Even if you’re just a thought tonight,

You live in every prayer I write.

I feel your soul — it calls to me,

Like waves that long to meet the sea.

Final Chorus (softer)

The second heartbeat under mine,

Still silent, but I know the sign.

I’ll love you more than words define —

My little star…

Someday you’ll shine.
