[Verse 1]
You tell the truth without dressing it up,
No polished answer, no borrowed luck.
You leave your coffee beside my keys,
And somehow the whole room softens for me.
[Pre-Chorus]
When the day has taken what it can,
You reach across and take my hand.
[Chorus]
You make me feel like the only person,
Like every word is worth returning.
I’m grateful for the way you stay,
For the honest heart you bring each day.
If I could choose one place to be,
It’s where you turn and look at me.
[Verse 2]
At the little hotel off the county road,
We laughed in the hallway, quiet and close.
The carpet was worn, the ceiling fan spun,
But you pulled me near and the night had begun.
[Pre-Chorus]
No crowd, no plans, no need to know,
Just your two shoes moving slow.
[Chorus]
You make me feel like the only person,
Like every word is worth returning.
I’m grateful for the way you stay,
For the honest heart you bring each day.
If I could choose one place to be,
It’s where you turn and look at me.
[Bridge]
Let the years put silver in our hair,
Let the seasons rearrange the chairs.
I’ll still know the truth when you say my name,
And I’ll still choose you the same.
[Final Chorus]
You make me feel like the only person,
With a quiet love that keeps unfolding.
I cherish that old hotel dance,
The accidental, perfect chance.
I’m grateful for your steady light,
For making ordinary feel right.
[Outro]
Your hand in mine, the hallway wide,
We keep on turning side by side.
