Elyse

Lyrics

Verse 1
There’s a quiet in the morning when you’re still asleep
Sunlight dancing on your skin
Falling soft and sweet
I thank God every day for the life I’ve found
Ever since you came along and turned it all around

Pre-Chorus
Yeah I was lost
Just drifting through
Talking big plans I could never stick to
Then your name rolled in like a summer breeze
Now every road I see just spells out E-L-Y-S-E

Chorus
Elyse
You’re the prayer I never knew I’d need
The steady in my shaking knees
The reason that my restless heart believes
Elyse
You’re my shelter when the daylight fades
My forever in a world that changes
If there’s a song in me
It’s you I’m gonna sing
Elyse

Verse 2
You’re laughing in the kitchen in my old tee shirt
Bare feet on the hardwood
Hair a little hurt
And I swear in that moment I can’t catch my breath
Thinking how I almost lived a life you’d never have met

Pre-Chorus
Yeah I was running
Chasing something fast
Never thought the good things were meant to last
Then you held my hand and you held on tight
Now every little sunrise feels like the first time

Chorus
Elyse
You’re the prayer I never knew I’d need
The steady in my shaking knees
The reason that my restless heart believes
Elyse
You’re my shelter when the daylight fades
My forever in a world that changes
If there’s a song in me
It’s you I’m gonna sing
Elyse

Bridge
If the sky falls
If the stars quit shining (oh)
If the road bends
If the rivers quit winding
I’ll still be there
Right by your side
Saying your name for the rest of my life

Chorus
Elyse
You’re the prayer I never knew I’d need
The steady in my shaking knees
The reason that my restless heart believes
Elyse
You’re my shelter when the daylight fades
My forever in a world that changes
If there’s a song in me
It’s you I’m gonna sing
Elyse (Elyse)
