Tender as the Night

Darlin’, when you whisper,

I can feel the world slow down.

Every heartbeat in your chest

Is the sweetest kind of sound.

There’s a calm inside your laughter,

There’s a flame behind your eyes—

And I’m fallin’, slow and certain,

Like the moon across the sky.

⸻

So hold me tender as the night,

Where the quiet feels just right.

Let our shadows dance together

In the soft and silver light.

If love is just a moment,

Then let me stay in yours tonight—

’Cause your touch is pure as heaven,

And your heart is tender as the night.

⸻

I ain’t lookin’ for forever,

But you make forever seem near.

Every tremble in your fingers

Is a truth I long to hear.

I’ve been lost in lonely places,

But you pulled me back to life—

With a kiss that feels like sunrise

On the coldest morning light.

⸻

So hold me tender as the night,

Where the quiet feels just right.

Let our shadows dance together

In the soft and silver light.

If love is just a moment,

Then let me stay in yours tonight—

’Cause your touch is pure as heaven,

And your heart is tender as the night.

⸻

If the stars forget to shimmer,

If the day refuses dawn—

I’ll still find you in the darkness,

Where our two hearts carry on.

Let the world keep turnin’ slowly,

Let the hours pass out of sight—

I will love you soft and holy,

Every breath, all through the night.

⸻

So hold me tender as the night,

Where the quiet feels just right.

Let our shadows dance together

In the soft and silver light.

If love is just a moment,

Then stay right here in mine tonight—

With your hands wrapped ‘round my heartbeat,

And your soul tender as the night.
