Every night

Verse 1

Every night when the lights go low,

I pour a glass and let the memories flow,

And wouldn’t you know, there you are —

Closer than this old piano bar.

I’ve made my mistakes, I’ve had my pride,

But heaven knows you never left my side.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been a fool, I’ll confess it’s true,

But I’ve always been in love with you.

⸻

Chorus

’Cause even when the miles roll on,

My heart still knows where it belongs,

No distant road, no passing phase

Could ever steal my yesterdays.

Darlin’, believe me when I say,

I’m yours — come what may.

⸻

Verse 2

Time can play its tricks, that’s fair,

But it can’t erase the way you care.

That fire in your laugh, that gentle grace,

No crowded room could take your place.

I’m not chasing shadows anymore,

I know exactly what I’m fighting for.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been a fool, I’ve had my doubts,

But loving you — I never walked out.

⸻

Bridge (Strip it down — piano + bass only)

If the night gets long and the band’s gone home,

I’ll still be singing for you alone.

Through every high note, every wrong,

You’re still the words to my favorite song.

⸻

Final Chorus (Full band, horns swell)

Even when the miles roll on,

My heart still knows where it belongs,

No distant road, no passing phase

Could ever steal my yesterdays.

So take my hand, don’t be afraid —

I’m yours… come what may.

(Tag line, soft)

Right where you belong.
