[Verse] The clock ticks slow in the hush of the hall, Your breath still whispers through the quiet wall. I trace the lines on your hand so small, While the world outside is wrapped in thrall. [Pre-Chorus] And the lights above hum low and deep, Like a lullaby I never learned to sleep. [Chorus] Hold me close in this blue-lit hour, Youâre the only real thing thatâs ever been, Through the long, silent hours, Youâre the warmth that keeps me in. Iâll be your shadow, your quiet prayerâ Just a breath, just a word, just a shared prayer. [Verse] The IV drip sings a steady tune, Youâre fading in and out like the moon. I brush your hair with my tired hand, And Iâm loving you like I never understand. [Pre-Chorus] And the night stretches wide and long, But youâre my compass, my sweet and true song. [Chorus] Hold me close in this blue-lit hour, Youâre the only real thing thatâs ever been, Through the long, silent hours, Youâre the warmth that keeps me in. Iâll be your shadow, your quiet prayerâ Just a breath, just a word, just a shared prayer. [Bridge] If the dawn should come and take you away, Iâll still sing you slow through the endless day. For every beat, for every sigh, Iâm yours â and youâre mine â beneath the sky. [Chorus] Hold me close in this blue-lit hour, Youâre the only real thing thatâs ever been, Through the long, silent hours, Youâre the warmth that keeps me in. Iâll be your shadow, your quiet prayerâ Just a breath, just a word, just a shared prayer. [Outro] Just a breath, just a word⊠Just a shared prayer⊠Just a shared prayerâŠ
