Thing

[Intro: Heavy Upright Bass groove, slow and thick]
[Saxophone: Sultry melodic riffs]

[Verse 1: Deep resonant baritone, intimate storytelling]
For a while there it was rough
But lately, I've been doing better
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night
And I think I might have all I need

[Pre-Chorus: Mellow and airy]
I give thanks every day
For the girl my parents love
Only thing that keeps me up
Is the thought of losing it all

[Chorus: Gentle falsetto, low intensity, breathy soul]
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: Extended Smoky Saxophone Solo, improvisational, soulful, melodic jazz exploration over thick bass groove]

[Bridge: Very soft, almost whispered]
I know I've got enough...
I just hope it stays...

[Chorus: Deep baritone fading into soft falsetto]
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

[Outro: Saxophone call-and-response with deep vocal humming, fading with thick Upright Bass]
