Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Alto: You laugh at something small I say Soprano: I watch the way your lashes shake Alto: I look away a heartbeat late Soprano: You see it Don’t you? (mm) you see it Alto: Your hand rests where my hand could fall Soprano: You move a thread from off my shawl Alto: I feel the spark and curse it all Soprano: Pretend I missed it Just pretend it [Chorus] Alto: Stolen glances Slipping past Soprano: Little chances we let pass Alto: Every smile we try to hide Soprano: Every truth we tuck inside Both: Oh I’m trying not to show it Alto: But you’re written in my eyes Soprano: And you’re written into mine Both: In these stolen Stolen glances we deny [Verse 2] Soprano: You tease me Say I blush too quick Alto: You bite your lip That same old trick Soprano: I shake my head My voice too thick Alto: You hear it Don’t you? (yeah) you hear it Soprano: Your shoulder leans a breath from mine Alto: I trace the table’s wooden line Soprano: One inch more and we’d entwine Alto: We hover Holding Barely near it [Chorus] Alto: Stolen glances Slipping past Soprano: Little chances we let pass Alto: Every smile we try to hide Soprano: Every truth we tuck inside Both: Oh I’m trying not to show it Alto: But you’re written in my eyes Soprano: And you’re written into mine Both: In these stolen Stolen glances we deny [Bridge] Alto: If I reached across this crowded room Soprano: If I said your name like it’s a vow Alto: Would we break the spell too soon Soprano: Or are we breaking Breaking now? Alto: Say you feel the same Just say it Soprano: Say you’re just as scared to try Both: Till then we’ll hide behind these shy Unfinished smiles [Chorus] Alto: Stolen glances Slipping past Soprano: Little chances we let pass Alto: Every laugh that lasts too long Soprano: Every half-forbidden song Both: Oh I’m trying not to show it Alto: But you’re written in my eyes Soprano: And you’re written into mine Both: In these stolen Stolen glances Alto: In these soft Unspoken answers Soprano: In these quiet Hidden dances Both: Love is learning how to stop the shy goodbye

Gentle Irish ballad with lilting acoustic guitar and soft fiddle swells; female vocals only, intimate alto and airy soprano trading lines and echoing phrases. Verses stay close and hushed, with brushed bodhrán heartbeat and sparse piano; chorus opens into warm harmonies, breathy call‑and‑response, and subtle tin whistle countermelodies. Keep dynamics tender, building just enough for the final chorus before easing into a calm, lingering resolve., breathy, female vocals, ballad, gentle
