Stay right here

Intro (Hook – 4 bars)
Stay right here… just a little while
Let the world wait, you’re still my child

⸻

Verse 1
Morning light on your bedroom wall
Barefoot dreams down the hallway calls
Blonde hair glowing in the window sun
Blue eyes laughing like you’ve already won
Time feels quiet when I watch you play
Wish I could keep it this way

Pre-Chorus
Life’s gonna move fast, faster than it should
But right now everything’s good

⸻

Chorus (Main Hook)
So stay right here, don’t rush the days
Don’t trade your magic for growing pains
There’ll be storms and tears you can’t outrun
But I’ll be your shelter when they come
No matter where your story goes
I’ll always love you, you should know
You’re my forever, my little girl
In a spinning world

⸻

Post-Chorus Hook (2 bars)
Stay right here… stay right here

⸻

Verse 2
You hold your brother’s hand so tight
He sees a hero in your eyes
You lead him through the backyard dust
Like you already know what love is
You don’t see it yet, but someday you will
How strong you’ve always been

Pre-Chorus
You’re learning courage in your own sweet way
Even on your quiet days

⸻

Chorus (Repeat)
So stay right here, don’t rush the days
Don’t trade your magic for growing pains
There’ll be storms and tears you can’t outrun
But I’ll be your shelter when they come
No matter where your story goes
I’ll always love you, you should know
You’re my forever, my little girl
In a spinning world

⸻

Bridge (Soft Build)
One day the mirror might make you doubt
Who you are or how you shine
When that voice gets too loud
Come back to mine
I’ll remind you who you’ve always been
Before the world weighed in

⸻

Breakdown Hook (Half Chorus – stripped)
Stay right here, just breathe me in
You don’t have to be strong yet, my friend

⸻

Final Chorus (Full + Lift)
So stay right here, let time slow down
Let joy be loud, let love be found
When life gets heavy and you feel small
I’ll be the place you always fall
No matter how far your wings unfurl
You’ll always be my little girl
My heart, my home, my whole wide world

⸻

Outro (Hook – fade)
Stay right here… just a little while
Let the world wait… you’re still my child
