Sparkle eyes in the fire light

warm expressive male vocals, stripped-back acoustic country, Chris Stapleton style, Luke Combs style, hopeful love song, emotional long-distance romance

Lyrics

Intro

(yeah) Slow burnin' fire, embers glowin' low

Thinkin' 'bout you, Heather, in the midnight glow

Verse

Summer down here in the Kiwi green

Barefoot evenin's, air sweet and clean

Coffee line tangled, you from Buffalo way

Maps on the table, lost in what you'd say

Never planned on your smile stealin' my breath

Or late-night calls turnin' strangers to depth

Pre-chorus

Your winters bite hard, snow pilin' high

Mine stretch endless under an open sky

But your words cut through like mornin' light

Pullin' me closer through the dead of night

Chorus

Sometimes the best kinda love

Starts with a stumble, a shove from above

Heather, my north star in the southern sea

We'll chase this feelin', you and me

Yeah, what caught us slippin'

Turned to somethin' we're grippin'

Holdin' on tight, 'cause it's worth the fight

This chance we took, gonna last all our life

Verse

Fire cracklin' soft, stars spinnin' 'round

Your voice in my head, that soft Buffalo sound

Wishin' your hand in mine, breath on my skin

Cold winds up there, but you pull me in

Distance like a river we both gotta cross

Uncertainty lingerin', but we ain't talkin' loss

Pre-chorus

Your blizzards ragin', my summers unfold

Worlds spinnin' different, but our story's gold

Every mile between us just fans up the flame

Makin' me sure of your name

Chorus

Sometimes the best kinda love

Starts with a stumble, a shove from above

Heather, my north star in the southern sea

We'll chase this feelin', you and me

Yeah, what caught us slippin'

Turned to somethin' we're grippin'

Holdin' on tight, 'cause it's worth the fight

This chance we took, gonna last all our life

Bridge

Oceans and hours, they test every beat

But hope's in the quiet where our promises meet

No script for this, just faith in the pull

You from the ice, me from the wool

Chorus

Sometimes the best kinda love (best kinda love)

Starts with a stumble, a shove from above

Heather, my north star in the southern sea (southern sea)

We'll chase this feelin', you and me

Yeah, what caught us slippin'

Turned to somethin' we're grippin'

Holdin' on tight, 'cause it's worth the fight

This chance we took, gonna last all our life

Outro

(yeah) Fire dyin' down, but you still burn bright

Heather, goodnight... goodnight
