[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, YouтАЩre the only real thing thatтАЩs ever been, Through the long, silent hours, YouтАЩre the warmth that keeps me in. IтАЩll be your shadow, your quiet prayerтАФ Just a breath, just a word, just a shared prayer. [Verse] The IV drip sings a steady tune, YouтАЩre fading in and out like the moon. I brush your hair with my tired hand, And IтАЩm loving you like I never understand. [Pre-Chorus] And the night stretches wide and long, But youтАЩre my compass, my sweet and true song. [Chorus] Hold me close in this blue-lit hour, YouтАЩre the only real thing thatтАЩs ever been, Through the long, silent hours, YouтАЩre the warmth that keeps me in. IтАЩll be your shadow, your quiet prayerтАФ Just a breath, just a word, just a shared prayer. [Bridge] If the dawn should come and take you away, IтАЩll still sing you slow through the endless day. For every beat, for every sigh, IтАЩm yours тАФ and youтАЩre mine тАФ beneath the sky. [Chorus] Hold me close in this blue-lit hour, YouтАЩre the only real thing thatтАЩs ever been, Through the long, silent hours, YouтАЩre the warmth that keeps me in. IтАЩll be your shadow, your quiet prayerтАФ Just a breath, just a word, just a shared prayer. [Outro] Just a breath, just a wordтАж Just a shared prayerтАж Just a shared prayerтАж
