Katie's Window

[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strums, soft piano arpeggios] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – soft guitar picking, faint shaker] Saw you leaning on the corner store Sunlight caught your hair through the screen door You laughed at the dog that stole your fries I stood there frozen, lost in your eyes [Pre-Chorus – subtle string swells, light tambourine] I walked up slow, my shoes scuffing the concrete Mumbled a line about the weather being sweet You smiled and said you liked my worn-out coat In that moment, I knew I'd never let go [Chorus 1 – full acoustic guitar, layered vocals, soft bass] Katie, your window's where the stars come out Every night I'm there, just figuring out How to say the words I've held so long That you're the song my heart's been singing all along [Post-Chorus – wordless hums, gentle piano] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – fingerpicked guitar, soft xylophone] We walked the pier when the tide went low Collected shells and talked about the roads You want to take to see the world wide I said I'd follow, right by your side [Pre-Chorus 2 – building string section, steady shaker] You drew a heart in the sand with your thumb Said you never thought you'd find someone Who saw the parts you tried to hide I told you I'd love them, every side [Chorus 2 – upbeat strums, brighter vocals, light drum beat] Katie, your window's where the moon hangs high Every night I'm there, just waiting to try To hold your hand and say it true That I'm so in love with everything you do [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, quiet vocals] I used to think love was a distant dream Something only written in books or on a screen But you walked in and changed it all Now I know love is standing tall [Solo – gentle piano melody, soft guitar backing] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full band, soaring vocals, warm strings] Katie, your window's where my world begins Every night I'm there, just letting it sink in That you're the one I've waited for Forever more, I'll love you more and more [Outro – fading guitar, soft piano, faint hums] Katie, your window's where the stars stay bright With you, my love, every night feels like the first night
