I found a light upon the stairs tonight
It wasn't golden just a soft and quiet white
And in the corner of the room you stood
Talking softly like I always knew you would

And I saw a future hanging in the air
A frame of silver paint upon your hair
I know I'm young I've got so much to see
But I don't mind if you're the view in front of me

Darling hold me like the morning holds the dew
Soft and careful like it's something brand new
We don't need a perfect dancing floor
Just sway here with me who could ask for more

And I see whispers written on your skin
In every shadow let the light come in
Tonight we're just two hearts learning how to fall
That's all

My father's voice is telling me be strong
My mother's saying don't you wait too long
But when you smile the noise just fades to black
There's only you there is no turning back

We are not angels we are flesh and bone
Finding a way to build a sacred home
I'm just a singer trying to find the note
That sounds like heaven when it leaves your throat

So darling hold me like the morning holds the dew
Soft and careful like it's something brand new
We don't need a perfect dancing floor
Just sway here with me who could ask for more

And I see whispers written on your skin
In every shadow let the light come in
Tonight we're just two hearts learning how to fall
That's all

And I promise I won't rush this
I'll memorize the brush of your hand
And if the world outside should crush this

I'll bury us deep
Where the tall trees stand
Where the tall trees stand
