The Story Behind the Song
Emily just got engaged to her partner, Ben. They’ve been together for six years and first met in a little coffee shop during college. Every Sunday morning since, they’ve made it a tradition to drink coffee together, even when they lived in different cities. He proposed on a quiet Sunday morning while they were having coffee at home, just the two of them.
Emily was looking for a meaningful way to capture their story and surprise Ben with something special for their upcoming engagement party.

What would you like the song to be about?
I want it to tell the story of how we met and the little things that make our relationship special. We met in a coffee shop in college and bonded over a shared love of music and slow mornings. Even when we were long-distance, we would FaceTime every Sunday with a cup of coffee. He proposed to me during one of those mornings. It was simple and perfect.

Lyrics
We met beneath the buzz of morning light
The Perch Café, your smile caught mine
You asked if you could share my table
We talked for hours, like we had time to burn
You liked your coffee strong, your music soft
Said Sundays were made for slowing down
From that day on, week after week
You were the peace I didn’t know I’d found
You're my Sunday kind of calm
Where the world fades and I belong
In your arms, in your eyes
In the quiet we both recognize
Love like this doesn’t shout
It just shows up and stays around
You’re my always, my soft and strong
My Sunday kind of calm
Even when miles stretched us thin
We’d raise our mugs and check back in
A thousand sips across the screen
Still felt like you were next to me
You're my Sunday kind of calm
Where the world fades and I belong
In your arms, in your eyes
In the quiet we both recognize
Love like this doesn’t shout
It just shows up and stays around
You’re my always, my soft and strong
My Sunday kind of calm
And when you knelt down in the kitchen light
With no one there but morning quiet
You said, “Let’s make this forever”
And I knew I already had
You’re my Sunday kind of calm
Where I’ve always known I belong
No rush, no race, just heart to heart
Simple mornings, perfect starts
Love like this doesn’t shout
It just shows up and never doubts
You’re my always, my soft and strong
My Sunday kind of calm.
