Little Beam of Light
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Dust is turning slowly in the porch light's golden hush
Nothing hurries here tonight, no reason left to rush
Every drifting speck of gold is floating soft and free
And you are held as gently as that light holds onto me

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the evening settle on your chest
Nothing in this whole wide world can trouble you at rest
So let the hush come nearer now, and lean into the rest

[Chorus]
Alex, sleep is calling soft and low tonight
Nothing in the dark can dim your light
You are safe within this warm and quiet space
Alex, dream a while in this small, peaceful place

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window all the stars are settling too
Quiet falls around the house like it was made for you
Every little sound tonight has softened to a hum
Rest now, little one, until the morning light has come

[Bridge]
Nothing needs to happen now, no reaching, no demand
Just the gentle rise and fall of breathing, slow and grand

[Chorus]
Alex, sleep is calling soft and low tonight
Nothing in the dark can dim your light
You are safe within this warm and quiet space
Alex, dream a while in this small, peaceful place

[Outro]
Somewhere still that porch light glows and dust drifts on and on
Sleep now, love, until you wake to find the warmth still shining strong
