The Night Song

Verse 1 - Slow & Soulful)

This is the morning song

That King David used to sing

But because it’s your Saint’s day

It’s to you these notes we bring.

(Chorus - With a steady backbeat)

Wake up, my love, oh wake up

Look, the dawn has just begun

The birds are out there singing

And the moon has chased the sun.

(Bridge - Increasing intensity, bluesy guitar fill)

How beautiful is the morning

As I come to say hello

We all arrive with happiness

To let our blessings flow.

The day that you were born, babe

All the flowers started to bloom

And at the baptismal fountain

The nightingales filled the room.

(Guitar Solo - Clean, melodic, 50s Gibson tone)

(Verse 2 - Deep and resonant)

The dawn is breaking steady

The light has found its way

Rise up, rise up this morning

And see the break of day.

(Outro - Slowing down, heavy on the emotion)

If I could reach the heavens

And pull down every star

I’d show you just how much I love

Exactly who you are.

With jasmine and with flowers

I’ll deck your world so sweet

Because it is your special day

I’m singing at your feet.

(Ending: A final, lingering piano chord)

Yeah, I’m singing at your feet...
