Buckles Catching Light
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The buckle catches a little gleam from the dash tonight
Rolling soft along the road while the world turns low and slow
Nothing out there needs to hurry, nothing needs to fight
You are held so gently here, safer than you know

[Pre-chorus]
Every mile is humming quiet, wrapped around your rest
Every light along the window dims to let you go
Close your eyes now, you are cradled, you are surely blessed

[Chorus]
Aaliyah, sleep is calling soft and slow and near ya
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever come between us
You are loved beyond the stars, beyond the moon, my dear ya
Aaliyah, rest awhile, there's nothing here to fear, love

[Verse 2]
The engine hums a lullaby that only you can hear
Warm air settles on your skin like hands that hold you tight
Every turn we take tonight is bringing morning nearer
You can let the darkness in, it only means goodnight

[Pre-chorus]
Every mile is humming quiet, wrapped around your rest
Every light along the window dims to let you go
Close your eyes now, you are cradled, you are surely blessed

[Chorus]
Aaliyah, sleep is calling soft and slow and near ya
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever come between us
You are loved beyond the stars, beyond the moon, my dear ya
Aaliyah, rest awhile, there's nothing here to fear, love

[Bridge]
Wherever this road may carry us, you are never far from home
You will always have a warm place waiting, you will never be alone

[Chorus]
Aaliyah, sleep is calling soft and slow and near ya
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever come between us
You are loved beyond the stars, beyond the moon, my dear ya
Aaliyah, rest awhile, there's nothing here to fear, love

[Outro]
The glow is fading soft now, the road is turning still
Sleep now, little one, you are held and always will
