Baby in the Hallway

Verse 1

Laughter echoes down the staircase [1980s synth-pop] [warm synth pad],

Little footsteps fill the air [gated reverb drums light],

Milk and cereal in the morning [electric piano sparkle],

Love is everywhere [tenor pop vocal + female echo].

Chorus

Baby in the hallway, shining like the sun [big 80s snare + synth bass],

Dancing in the kitchen, joy for everyone [bright synth brass],

Time can’t take these simple days away [anthemic vocal lift],

We’re forever young in love this way [layered harmony stack].

Verse 2

Painted walls with tiny handprints [chorus guitar clean tone],

Crayons scattered on the floor [dreamy synth texture],

Golden frames upon the mantle [soft sax line creeping in],

Every year we love them more [family warmth].

Chorus

Baby in the hallway, shining like the sun [female harmony layering],

Dancing in the kitchen, joy for everyone [synth chords uplifting],

Time can’t take these simple days away [anthemic chorus rise],

We’re forever young in love this way [pop duet harmonies].

Bridge

Verse 3 (short + reflective)

Quiet nights when they’re all sleeping [soft piano intro],

I still reach for your hand [gentle synth strings],

Through the silence, love is keeping [soft crooner tone],

Every dream is what we planned [nostalgic glow].

Chorus

Baby in the hallway, shining like the sun [full band, sax soaring],

Dancing in the kitchen, joy for everyone [anthemic pop power],

Time can’t take these simple days away [vocal stack explosion],

We’re forever young in love this way [fade out on sax riff + synth pads].
