Verse 1
G Em
Down in Houston, where the lights still shine,
C D7
At Methodist Hospital, healin’s on time.
G Em
Up on the seventh floor where the angels belong,
C D7 G
You’ll find a sweet nurse they call her Dawn.
Verse 2
She comes in early, no complaints at all,
Works those rooms and answers each call.
Kind of heart that’ll make you strong,
That’s the spirit of Nurse Dawn.
Chorus
G C
Nurse Dawn, you’re the light on the hill,
D7 G
Steady your hands, your heart never still.
G C
From the Medical Center ’til the break of dawn,
D7 G
We’re thankful for you, Nurse Dawn.
Verse 3
Room seven-six-nine is where I stay,
She checks my chart then goes her way.
Leaves a word of comfort when hope feels gone—
That’s just the way with Nurse Dawn.
Verse 4
The 7th-floor angels all know her name,
Every heart she touches won’t be the same.
A gentle voice, soft as a song,
That’s Houston Methodist’s own Nurse Dawn.
Chorus (Repeat)
Nurse Dawn, you’re the light on the hill,
Steady your hands, your heart never still.
From the 7th-floor angels ’til the break of dawn,
We’re thankful for you, Nurse Dawn.
Outro (Tag)

If you ever need care, just follow that sign,
D7 G
To the 7th floor—room seven-six-nine.
C G
Where faith and kindness carry on,
D7 G
That’s the heart of Nurse Daw
