Softer Than The Night

Softer Than The Night

The sky falls quiet after dusk

Stars appear like gentle trust

The world slows down, it starts to breathe

And I can finally just be me

But even in the calmest air

There’s still a hush that can’t compare

To how I feel when you are near

The silence speaks when you are here

They say night is peace defined

But they’ve never seen your eyes

If there’s something softer than the night

It’s when you walk into my light

Like a whisper in the moon’s embrace

You bring me stillness, you bring grace

No lullaby could hold me tight

The way you do just by my side

If calm had a face, it would be you

Softer than the night, it’s true

I’ve chased the quiet, sought the stars

In coffee shops and passing cars

But nothing ever eased my mind

Like hearing your voice intertwined

You don’t need words to make me stay

Your presence slowly fades the day

Like twilight in its sweetest hue

The world stops spinning next to you

They say the moonlight knows it all

But it never caught me when I fall

If there’s something softer than the night

It’s when you hold my hand just right

Like a breeze that hums a sacred song

You make me feel I do belong

No lullaby could hold me tight

The way you do just by my side

If calm had a name, it would be you

Softer than the night, it’s true

Even shadows fade away

When your smile begins to stay

Peace has found its place in me

And it’s in your company

If there’s something softer than the night

It’s being wrapped in your warm light

More than silence, more than stars

You're the quiet in my heart

No dream has ever felt this right

No moment ever held this light

You are the calm I never knew

Softer than the night and true

You are…

Softer than the night...

And still, you shine so bright...
