Lyrics
Three a.m. and the hallway lights are low Vending machine humming, nowhere else to go You fell asleep upright with your head on my arm I pulled my sweater round you, keeping you warm Nurse came by with tea, said it's almost through Little paper cup of kindness, steaming for two We're waiting on good news, we're waiting on the day Holding hands in the quiet, nothing left to say Whatever the morning brings I'll be here with the little things Warm tea, warm hands, three a.m. kind Soft light, slow breath, peace of mind Stay close, stay close, we'll see it through Night is long but I've got you Warm tea, warm hands, three a.m. kind You're not alone, you're not behind Clock on the wall ticking soft and slow Somebody's baby crying down the hall below Strangers share a smile across the waiting chairs Little silent promises, whispered prayers I fold your jacket for a pillow on my knee Brush your hair back, you lean in close to me Every hour passes like a gentle tide I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here by your side Whatever the morning brings I'll be here with the little things Warm tea, warm hands, three a.m. kind Soft light, slow breath, peace of mind Stay close, stay close, we'll see it through Night is long but I've got you Warm tea, warm hands, three a.m. kind You're not alone, you're not behind Window shows the first grey light of dawn Birds begin to sing like the worst is gone Doctor's at the door with a gentle smile Everything's okay, we can breathe a while Warm tea, warm hands, three a.m. kind Soft light, slow breath, peace of mind Stay close, stay close, we made it through Night was long but I had you Warm tea, warm hands, three a.m. kind We're not alone, we're not behind Warm tea, warm hands Three a.m. kind
