Tell Them You Love Them
Cinematic emotional piano ballad, slow tempo around 72 BPM, short soft piano intro with vocals entering quickly, intimate piano led verses with warm ambient pads and subtle strings gradually building, delicate acoustic guitar textures, gentle organic drums lifting the chorus, atmosphere about love, forgiveness and the passing of time, alto female voice with dynamic range and vibrato at key moments, natural breath phrasing and expressive storytelling delivery, warm clear female vocal close to the listener, emotional but restrained production, strong heartfelt final chorus with layered harmonies, extended piano and strings outro fading naturally, no abrupt ending

Lyrics
Verse 1
Say the words before the silence
before the rooms grow unfamiliar
before the voices that you know
become only memory in the air
We keep waiting for tomorrow
like time is something we can spare
but life moves softer than a shadow
and suddenly it isn’t there
Pre-Chorus
So don’t leave love sitting quiet
don’t let pride decide your heart
Chorus
Tell the ones you love you love them
while the light is still around
while their laughter fills the distance
while their footsteps make a sound
Don’t let anger build a prison
don’t let silence pull apart
Give a hug like it’s a treasure
give a smile that heals a heart
Verse 2
Grudges grow like hidden poison
slowly running through the soul
what feels heavy in the moment
can become a deeper hole
But forgiveness is a doorway
where the air begins to change
sometimes all it takes is kindness
to make broken things rearrange
Pre-Chorus
We are only passing through this
every second disappears
Chorus
Tell the ones you love you love them
while the light is still around
while their laughter fills the distance
while their footsteps make a sound
Don’t let anger build a prison
don’t let silence pull apart
Give a hug like it’s a treasure
give a smile that heals a heart
Bridge
One day the chairs will all be empty
one day the voices fade away
so hold the people standing near you
don’t wait for some distant day
Final Chorus
Tell the ones you love you love them
this is always the right time
life is fragile, life is fleeting
every moment is a sign
Leave the warmth inside the living
leave no kindness left unsaid
love is all we truly carry
when the world moves on
