One Little Window — DaddyLove

Verse 1

The kettle sings beside the frosted pane
Your wool coat drips a little by the door
We shake the snow from every sleeve again
And find the old tin angel on the floor

Pre-Chorus

You set the table, I untangle lights
The kitchen smells of cloves and orange peel
And all the miles that kept us through the year
Grow small beneath this roof tonight

Chorus

Come home for Christmas, come in from the cold
There’s room by the fire, there’s a story untold
The years may turn and the roads may divide
But love keeps a place at the table tonight
Come home for Christmas, wherever you roam
One little window can still lead you home

Verse 2

The paper stars we made when you were small
Still lean a little crooked over the stairs
Your laugh returns and fills the quiet hall
As if it never left its echo there

Pre-Chorus

We pass the bread, we pour the cider slow
The clock forgets to hurry for a while
And every face around this table shines
With things we never had to say

Chorus

Come home for Christmas, come in from the cold
There’s room by the fire, there’s a story untold
The years may turn and the roads may divide
But love keeps a place at the table tonight
Come home for Christmas, wherever you roam
One little window can still lead you home

Bridge

For those who cannot cross the miles this year
We fold their names into a quiet prayer
May every lonely room find kindness there
May someone leave a light on somewhere

Final Chorus

Come home for Christmas, come in from the cold
There’s room by the fire, there’s a story untold
The years may turn and the roads may divide
But love keeps a place at the table tonight
Come home for Christmas, wherever you roam
One little window can still lead you home

Outro

The kettle rests, the last candle glows
Your hand finds mine as the soft snow falls
One little window, one welcome home
And Christmas is here after all
