Headlights on the Ceiling
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Watch the light slide soft across the ceiling and disappear
an engine humming low as it drifts on somewhere from here
nothing in this room can touch you, nothing needs to be feared
the whole wide night is holding still just to keep you near

[Pre-chorus]
Every sound outside is turning gentle just for you
the dark is only quiet wearing softer shades of blue
close your eyes now, let the hush come nearer

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Aaliyah, the night belongs to you
there is nothing in the shadows that was ever meant to be true
you are so completely loved, my dear ya
warm and certain, safe the whole night through

[Verse 2]
Somewhere cars are going home to rooms that glow like ours
tucked in underneath the same wide blanket full of stars
you don't need to know their roads or count their miles or hours
just the steady beat that tells you exactly who you are

[Bridge]
However far the world may roam tonight
you are the still point, you're the calm, you're the quiet light

[Chorus]
Sleep now, sleep now, Aaliyah, the night belongs to you
there is nothing in the shadows that was ever meant to be true
you are so completely loved, my dear ya
warm and certain, safe the whole night through

[Outro]
Let the last light sweep and settle, softer now than air
sleep, Aaliyah, you are held, you are so deeply cared for here
