Heaven's Nod

Verse 1 The porch light’s low, the barn door's closed, the night wears satin blue, Crickets hum a slow refrain, the world fades out for two. You tip your hat, I wipe my boots, your hand fits mine like home, Under that wide and wondering sky, I swear I’m not alone. Pre-Chorus A fiddle sighs, a soft piano, the stars keep time above, One-two-three, we find the beat, a slow soft kind of love. Chorus Dancing with you under the stars, the heavens give a nod, Like angels pausing in their flight to bless the vows we’ll trod. Spin me gentle, hold me close, let moonlight be our tether, Dancing with you under the stars—Lord, it feels like forever. Verse 2 We’ve walked through dust and summer storms, and winters cut the bone, Counted losses on a kitchen floor, made dreams out of the unknown. Tonight the past falls quiet, like a hymn that’s found its tune, Every step beside you proves what every prayer presumed. Pre-Chorus Steel guitar and ballroom strings weave golden in the dark, One-two-three, your heartbeat’s mine, a lantern and a spark. Chorus Dancing with you under the stars, the heavens give a nod, Like angels pausing in their flight to bless the vows we’ll trod. Spin me gentle, hold me close, let moonlight be our tether, Dancing with you under the stars—Lord, it feels like forever. Bridge If the world should lose its ribbon, if the dawn forgets to rise, I’ll keep this dance, this promise, held beneath those faithful skies. A nod from Heaven, soft and sure, says the place we’ve claimed is true— So I’ll lift you to this starlit floor and never let go of you. Final Chorus Dancing with you under the stars, the heavens give a nod, Like angels pausing in their flight to bless the vows we’ll trod. Spin me gentle, hold me close, let moonlight be our tether, Dancing with you under the stars—oh darlin’, we’re together. Outro One-two-three, the night agrees, footsteps woven in the dark, Under heaven’s nod we sway and know we’ll always share this spark.
