A Song For Katie

barely breathing

A Precious Gift is an intimate acoustic ballad built around soft fingerpicked guitar, somber felt-piano chords, and a quiet, close-mic vocal performance. The song captures the beauty of small everyday moments and the emotional depth found in someone’s quiet presence. With a gentle lift in the hook and a warm, organic feel, the track offers a sense of safety, sincerity, and emotional closeness — a comforting December release that feels honest, humble, and deeply human.

Lyrics:

You came into the kitchen this morning,
quiet and still waking up.
You weren’t trying to be anything,
you just moved the way you do
when you forget the world is watching.
It’s in those small, unguarded moments
that I notice you the most.
You make the room feel gentler
without meaning to.

There is a calm you bring
just by being here,
a steadiness I lean into
without even thinking.

You are a precious gift to me.
Not because of what you do,
but because of who you are
when everything is quiet.
When you look at me
like I matter to you,
something inside me settles.
You are a precious gift,
and I carry that with me.

You told me today
that you worry about being too much,
that you second-guess yourself
even when you shouldn’t.
You hold so much inside
that no one ever sees,
and still you wonder
if you give enough.
But you give more
than you realize.

If you could see yourself
from where I stand,
you would understand your worth.

You are a precious gift to me.
Not because you’re perfect,
but because you’re human
and honest
and willing to feel.
When you trust me
with the softer parts of you,
I feel honored.
You are a precious gift,
and I won’t forget that.

If life feels heavy,
if you feel unseen,
I will stay beside you
without asking you to change.

You are a precious gift,
a steady and gentle light
in a fast and restless world.
Every time you let me close,
I’m reminded
of how lucky I am.
You are my precious gift,
and you always will be.

A Precious Gift

“Shadows in the twilight” is a gentle English-language lullaby that paints a calm evening scene: sheep-like clouds drift across the sky, dewdrops shine like pearls on sleeping flowers, and moths circle a warm light. A warm female vocal rests over soft acoustic guitar or piano with delicate pads and glockenspiel, moving at ~70 BPM to encourage slow breathing and relaxation. The lyrics reassure and renew—inviting little ones (and tired parents) to unwind, drift into peaceful dreams, and wake to a brighter morning. Ideal for bedtime playlists, nursery ambience, and quiet family evenings.
