Cecily, a Good Name

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cecily sounds like a door swung wide A little more room on the sunny side Three soft beats and a silver spark A name that can find you after dark [Pre-Chorus] It carries a laugh, it carries a tune Like finding a bluebird in early June Say it once and the whole room leans Toward the kindest word they’ve heard all week [Chorus] Cecily, what a good name to be Easy to hold, bright as a melody Cecily, it fits like your favorite sleeve A name with a heart and a reason to believe Cecily, say it and watch worries leave Good names feel good when they’re meant for you and me [Verse 2] It has old-book grace and a brand-new grin A little bit brave with a mischief tucked in It doesn’t need shouting to make itself known It turns an ordinary place into home [Pre-Chorus] It travels well from a whisper to a cheer Feels even better when the right one’s near Say it once and the whole room knows There’s a gentle kind of magic in those syllables [Chorus] Cecily, what a good name to be Easy to hold, bright as a melody Cecily, it fits like your favorite sleeve A name with a heart and a reason to believe Cecily, say it and watch worries leave Good names feel good when they’re meant for you and me [Bridge] Not too grand, not too small It leaves a little light for all A name that grows as the years go by Still sounds like spring when you say it with pride [Final Chorus] Cecily, what a good name to be Warm in the winter, sweet in the July breeze Cecily, it rises and it rings A little word that makes a thousand good things Cecily, say it and watch worries leave The best names sound like the person you’re glad to meet [Outro] Cecily, keep that name close It suits you better than anyone knows
